| 2024-11-24 |  | | I hadn't even used the app yet and had to delete it, which was a shame. The notification made me feel alarmed as the icon looked like something was wrong with my phone, and despite dismissing the notification, it came back within a few minutes, which feels harassing. |
| 2024-11-04 |  | | The app appears to make strides to improve firewall every day to parter us. |
| 2024-10-16 |  | | This is a moderate anti virus app with basic options similar to any other product. Like others, back end that enables h@ckers to have a high leverage if they wish to mess with users. ZiX ( AUTONOMY.PROJECTS00 ) via IG offers a more secure and the best anti malware/spyware service options that does a more comprehensive defence against threats and also have an anti spy service set up to repel future h@ckjng attempt. The link is set up in such a way that it repels threats immediately it detects it. |
| 2024-09-18 |  | | Perfect UI/UX. I'm a technical user, and I love the very simple UI, the ability to manually update the signatures, the conservative use of notifications, the ability to scan only apps, only files, or both, the options to detect (or not detect) adware and riskware… Simply great. EDIT: Please make dark theme automatic, stop inhibiting sleep when scans end, and add an additional scan of only recently installed or updated apps. Thank you |
| 2024-06-23 |  | | I downloaded it on my moms phone since my little brother downloaded a virus by accident and just with a single click! Boom the virus is gone. This app is insane huge thank you for the developers they did an actual great job not like those other anti virus apps. They add more viruses Lol |
| 2024-06-18 |  | | I've been using this AMAZING app for many years now. It is phenomenal! It caught a virus as soon as I downloaded an app! Make sure to look at all the options this offers, such as scanning all folders on your computer or cell! Hats off to the developers for a job Very Well Done!! |
| 2024-03-09 |  | | Was 5 stars. Now - whatever you see. No automatic scanning after the update. This compromises the security of the device. It was there. The devs claim that the change is to the benefit of the user, to run scan whenever the user desires and thus save the resources. Then why not to leave this to the discretion of the user? Many applications download files, and if there's no automatic scanning of them any more, there's no protection. Really loved the app.. Update: now just stops working🤦♂️ |
| 2024-01-26 |  | | As my experience to Dr. Web anti virus lite are cannot scan automatically. All do all settings of this I'll set to partial Scan because if you set to full Scan it's takes long hours. Before it finished. So is fun of consuming The Android battery. Before it can go automatically in first scan to the short of Minutes. Not cannot...?! |
| 2023-11-28 |  | | The app is great at protecting devices from viruses, BUT the scans (express & full) take a very long time to run & complete. It shouldn't take 15+ minutes for a express scan or over a hour for a full scan, when many other anti-virus apps can run full complete scans of devices in a very tiny fraction of the time that this app takes. If the scan times were cut way down to just a tiny fraction of time to run full complete scans on the devices, I would give it 5 stars. |
| 2022-08-17 |  | | Dr Web is one of the older antivirus apps and anti-malware apps. It has a decent set of features, including quick and full scans, protection from ransomware, a quarantine space, and even stats. Along with that, it has good anti-theft features, call and SMS filtering, URL filtering, parental controls, a firewall, and more. I use it along side of AVG Antivirus it works very well together. I don't use it a lot once a week I run a full scan that's about it . |
