One of the many apps you can get for your Android phone is antivirus software. With so many choices out there to choose from here are three to consider.

The most well-known antivirus software for Android is Lookout Mobile Security. This antivirus app will monitor and protect you from spyware, malware and other viruses. It backups data, scans and has a cool feature called Find My Phone. If the phone is misplaced this feature will help you find it by sending a siren out from the web to the phone. One downside of this feature is battery life. Because Lookout Mobile Security is on it will easily drain the battery. However you can fix this by not having it run constantly.

Next is Super Security. It is a cloud-based antivirus that will monitor, scan and protect your computer from malware and other threats. The scans are real time and on-demand. It comes with Strongbox, a program in the program that will protect sensitive data. Super Security also has features like anti-malware, task manager, missing device find back, and an antivirus engine that’s community based. The downside is the application updates must be done manually.

Finally there is NetQin Antivirus Free. As with all other antivirus apps this stylish interface will monitor, scan, and protect your Android from cyber evil. It detects and scans any new app installations. With the device’s GPS it has features like the anti-theft option that will help you find your lost or stolen phone or other devices. It will wipe out any data from the phone that you no longer need. It has cloud security and will run without draining the battery. The downside is the GPS/anti-theft option must be done with another phone–and it does work.

Whichever one you choose you will not be disappointed.
