"Be aware of virus and malware"

Reviewed by: Emmanuel Lund / Nov 22, 2012

Zoner Antivirus Free is an antivirus for Android

First time you install it asks you for scanning the device, enabling phone filtering for calls and messages and enable LiveThreat for sending suspicious data to Zoner Antivirus Laboratory.

Zoner will show your current status depending on how strong your phone is protected. What's more, there's an antivirus scanner, a task manager to monitor and end processes up, a phone filtering to block calls/messages for set numbers and two other great features that we really appreciate:

First off, "Apps & Permissions". This feature shows you how many permissions your apps are using, the security level of them and a short description of what they mean. Really useful for detecting malware.

The other great feature is "Missing device". From there you can enable some parameters for controlling your phone remotely in case it gets robbed. Parameters like setting a password or receive a SMS when a the SIMcard is removed.

Zoner Antivirus Free has been developed by Zoner Inc., an emerging Android developer focused on security apps.

Although there haven't been important cases of malware and virus on Android yet, Zoner Antivirus is ready for when it comes anyway, while offering other great features like task killing, missing device or permissions monitoring. Highly recommendable.

Theft Protection enables you to remotely control and locate your device via SMS messages. If you have lost it somewhere you can get a location or sound an alarm for people to notice it. If it has been stolen you will be notified when SIM is changed.

App protection checks all newly installed applications for malware. You can scan any old installed applications from the menu.

On-access protection scans any downloaded files and optionally the whole SD Card when plugged in.

Phone filtering provides blocking of unwanted SMS/MMS and also protects you from malicious apps that call paid numbers. As a bonus it provides a parental lock for outgoing calls.

Secure messages are encrypted messages that you can send via SMS, email, facebook, twitter, etc.
Zoner AntiVirus uses strong encryption to send selected messages in unreadable form. The recipient can read those messages only when he has the right key (password).

    1. Showing a trojan in SMS service and unable to remove. ( Trojan.AndroidOS.Agent.A SmsService ) If it is a system service then why its showing as trojan. 2. Phone filter not active in main screen.
