Have been using the desktop version for many years. It has always served me well without issue. This Android version seems to also be working very well. I'm sure that over time it will continue to do it's job. Quietly runs in the background. Doesn't seem to be a battery vampire. Auto scans new installs. Ability to scan external storage areas if you desire as well. Also has on demand scanning. The on demand scanning is pretty fast. No ads. Very good Android version of the long time desktop tool!

The scan feature of this Bitdefender Anti-virus product seems to be working. There is actually a green progress meter. But I'm giving 3 stars to the company due to a couple issues. First, because the "superior" product, the Bitdefender Mobile Security, didn't do anything when I hit the the "start scan" button. Not superior. The Mobile Security version also still seemed to keep popping up the "start scan" notice. Second, the Anti-virus version didn't have a scan history feature.

Easy to use and takes only a few seconds from install to scanning your phone. Most of us do everything on our phones from surfing to banking and everything else in between. So it only makes sense to protect our phones like our home computers or laptops. This app is well reviewed and so I gave it a go. Would highly recommend it.
