“The Android mobile operating system is no different. “Since computer software has been around, people have been finding ways to attack it by through vulnerabilities or through targeting users,” said Marcin Kleczynski, CEO of Malwarebytes.
Unlike most security apps that come overloaded with phone location features already found in Android’s Device Manager, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Mobile is “lean,” and provides only the necessary security features to weed out malicious software without impacting your device’s performance. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Mobile, available on Google Play, protects Android phones and tablets from malware, infected apps and unauthorized surveillance.
#MALWAREBYTES FOR ANDROID FOR ANDROID#
SAN JOSE, Calif.-( BUSINESS WIRE)-Malwarebytes, a leading provider of anti-malware solutions, today launched a free mobile security application for Android devices. It's a free download for Android 2.3 or later, so at least you're not out of pocket for the experience, which is more than I can say for some other security apps. So yes, power users will find very little that's actually useful in Malwarebytes, but perhaps you can suggest it if you know someone who's heard about Android's "malware problem" and needs a little extra peace of mind. You know, just like the Apps section of the Android Settings menu. The icing on the cake is an application manager that displays system resource usage on a per-app basis and lets you shut them down. Which, honestly, you can probably figure out on your own.
If that's not enough, it also includes a Security Audit feature, which tells you about potentially unsafe features. In addition to the basic scans, Malwarebytes will give you a report of which apps have access to your personal information, and which ones are actively taking advantage of the capabilities that are outlined in Play Store permissions. According to the company's press release, the app actively scans for "over 200 malware families" in real-time in both apps and general files. The anti-malware app works on the familiar and relatively ancient principle of a scanner paired to an updated database of naughty apps.
