This app took me thirty seconds to set up, make my account, and start a scan. This app is super easy to use, you can find whatever you need easily, and it scanned more apps and files I even knew I had. I am using the free version, but for only $7.50 a YEAR, you can get web protection and microphone protection. This app is genius. It does regular scans, and you get notified about any errors anywhere on your device. It can even be used to delete clutter from your files! I definitely reccommend it.

I got one good scan from this app. The first time after downloading it. Every scan since has taken over an hour and that's when I go to something else. An HOUR?!! Talk about why shouldn't believe those so called expert writers doing reviews on different websites. Because they basically rewrite what some idiot wrote before them. "Avira Security app best on the play store",🐂💩 if it is.

Avira is the best antivirus & malware cleaner I have tried by far... from user experience, which is easy and simple to navigate, all the way to effectiveness and performance of the app, and I have tried about close to all of them. Google Play had informed me that one of my apps was malicious. I scanned my phone sorta as a test with all the top 'premium' antivirus apps and even some not so well known ones. Avira is literally the only one that detected it.
