With the introduction of Android v8.0 (Android Oreo) in August of 2017, among other OS improvements Google introduced its built-in malware protection for Android call Play Protect (<\/em>dependent on Google Play Services 11 or later).<\/em> Play Protect <\/em>checks apps and APK files downloaded from Google Play or third-party sources, using real-time and on-demand scanners, while also providing safe browsing and device loss protections.<\/p>\n

While built-in antimalware is a welcome addition in a dangerous Android Internet environment, Google<\/em> Play Protect<\/em> is not yet quite up-to-snuff, as shown in the recent tests performed by AV-Comparatives\u2019 Mobile Security Review 2018<\/em><\/strong> conducted in July and revised in August. In that test cycle, its protection rate was actually quite low (only a 51% catch rate among 2,604 recent malware samples tested.) It\u2019s also not much help in Asian countries, nor in any other region where use of other non-Google-owned Android app stores is rampant; nor is it included in Android 7\/7.1, 6.0, or 5\/5.1, which retain the lion\u2019s share of Android users (some 79%).<\/p>\n

Android users clearly need better protection\u2014and here, Trend Micro Mobile Security for Android<\/em><\/strong> steps up to the plate. It achieved 100%-protection rate in the same AV-Comparative tests, with no false positives, and received an Approved Mobile Product<\/em><\/strong> badge, standing securely among the five leading products in a field of twelve, while also having little effect on battery life (less than 3%). Achieving a rating of 100% protection is particularly good when you consider Trend Micro Mobile Security for Android has achieved this result in AV-Comparatives\u2019 tests for the last four years running<\/em>. They also acknowledge it to be \u201ca comprehensive app offering malware protection, an anti-theft module [Lost Device Protection], and additional, helpful features for managing the device.\u201d These additional helpful management features include a System Tuner and an App Manager, alongside the full-fledged functionality of a Security Scanner, a Safe Surfing function, a Wi-Fi Checker, Parental Controls, Social Network Privacy for Facebook and Twitter, and a Call Blocking function.<\/p>\n
