Choosing The Best Antivirus Program For Android Tablets

September 30, 2013 By Mandy

Google Android Security - Virus Scan

If you have just picked up a new ASUS Fonepad, Galaxy Tab 10.1, or any other Android-based tablet you will likely want to secure your personal information. Studies have shown that the Android OS is prone to malware and virus attacks at every turn.

Thankfully the Google Play store and other Android marketplaces offer a wide variety of consumer and enterprise solutions.

AVG AntiVirus FREE for Android™ Tablets

This piece of software is not only free, it is also stacked with useful features. Not only can AVG protect your Android tablet from viruses, it also monitors apps for often discovered malware.

This best in class software offers the ability to track stolen devices and remotely wipe data to protect a users personal information.

AVG even monitors battery usage, storage, and data capacity.

Throw in free support and it’s easy to see why this free AntiVirus software from AVG has been so well received.

Kaspersky Mobile Security

This software is not free but for $14.95 it offers some great protection.

Users of Kaspersky Mobile Security are treated to web protection which blocks dangerous or malicious websites and alerts users when phishing websites are discovered.

The Android powered protection tool also offers virus-scanning of apps and provides real-time, cloud-enabled protection for new and emerging threats.

Users can choose on-demand or scheduled scans just as they can with PC and MAC based virus scan programs.

Kaspersky also provides anti-theft protection by locking the device if stolen. Users can also wipe their devices remotely and track them using GPS, Wi-Fi, and Google Maps.

Kaspersky also offers Call and SMS filtering to block out not only viruses but also unwanted calls.

Sophos – Free Antivirus and Security

Free virus scan and privacy protection programs are abundant for the Android OS and Sophos has created one of the best available options.

Now you can protect your Asus device with a robust solution that protects against malicious software which can lead to data loss and unexpected cost.

Just like our other two picks Sophos provides for remote locking and the remote wiping of data. The software will also alert a devices owner if the devices SIM card is switched.

Sophos’ top-notch security program scans apps as they are installed and blocks dangerous platforms that could steal your personal information. Users can also scan on-demand and schedule scans for a later time.

Those are just a few of the best antivirus programs available for the Google Android platform. Whether you are using an Asus tablet, Smartphone or other Android based device you should greatly consider the inclusion of a virus scan program.

When choosing the best antivirus program for Android just remember to examine several features, specifically device scanning, web protection, and data protection services. Combined those services can offer almost 100% protection for your mobile devices.

If you’re confused about which program to purchase because of all their features, check out best antivirus, a website of experts who examine the best options on the market and then provide those products with easy to follow reviews.
