Tweak what the app scans when it carries out the general anti-virus scan, and set it to scan on a regular basis of your choosing.Īlthough many options exist, none of them are groundbreaking. You can also enable anti-theft measures, scan new files downloaded onto your computer, lock sensitive photos into a vault, and take steps to measure and improve your Wi-Fi speed. Some of these features are mildly interesting: should you choose a premium package (the app is freemium by default), you can remove ads. Once you’ve taken whatever action you deem appropriate, you’ll find the rest of the features the app offers, either by scrolling down the results page or accessing the list in the menu to the left. If the difference between “problem” and “suggestion” were made clear, it would eliminate this confusion. Less experienced users might feel that such warnings could be indicative of mobile security problems but the case is unlikely. None of them were worrying, especially as 2 of the 3 “problems” were simply that an Avast feature was not enabled. Once the scan was performed, a list of issues that Avast considered as problematic appeared. On the test phone - untouched by anti-virus scanning until now - the scan proved acceptably fast (around 25 seconds) despite a slight lag of 3 - 5 seconds before starting. It’s the center point of the Avast interface, and will be your first step using the app. If you’ve ever used an antivirus - and let’s be honest, who hasn’t - you’ll be pleased to see a big, orange “scan” button. An antivirus and more for your Android phoneĪvast decides to tackle mobile, but does it still come out on top?
