About this app

About
Free basic anti-virus protection for mobile devices running Android OS 4.4 — 16.
Features and advantages of the protection components
Anti-virus
• Quick or full file system scans, as well as custom scans of user-specified files and folders.
• On-demand file system scans;
• Neutralises encryption ransomware: malicious processes are terminated even if a device is locked; lockers not yet present in the Dr.Web virus database are blocked; data remains intact, eliminating the need to pay criminals a ransom.
• Detects new, unknown malware thanks to the unique Origins Tracing™ technology.
• Moves detected threats to the quarantine from which isolated files and applications can be restored.
•Minimal impact on system performance.
• Economises traffic due to the small size of the virus database updates, which is particularly important for users whose mobile device plans have usage limits.
•Detailed anti-virus operation statistics.
• A convenient and interactive widget for launching a scan from the device desktop.

Important

Anti-virus Dr.Web Light alone is not enough to protect your device from all types of modern-day threats. This version lacks important components, including the Call and SMS Filter, the Anti-theft and the URL filter. To protect your mobile device from all types of cyberthreats, use the comprehensive protection product Dr.Web Security Space for Android

The FREE version seems to "crash" frequently after latest update...When the FREE VERSION "works well" then automatically confidence is there.....if not there is no point in buying the full version....

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🤦‍♂️
