The Anti-Theft utility packs a lot of features, and is easily the most complex part of the avast! Android suite. And interesting enough, the Anti-Theft is actually an entirely separate app that is installed by the suite itself. If you ask me, this is where avast! Mobile Security really shines. Some users have had success with it, but I couldn’t get it to pick up any phishing or malware alerts no matter how many dangerous sites I visited. Avast! says that it checks URLs against a known database of malicious sites. I couldn’t get the web shield to work on my SPH-D710 using the default browser. This tool won’t let you modify app permissions, it just lets you know about them. It can be a bit disturbing looking through and seeing which apps have access to some of your most personal information. Avast! takes app permissions and categorizes them for easy viewing.

When you install an Android app its brief permissions window is usually displayed letting you know what the app will have access to. However, like Droid Wall, avast! requires Root in order for its Firewall feature to function.

It certainly comes in handy if you are running a stock rom and you don’t want bloatware hogging your 3G with useless updates. With the Firewall enabled you can pick and choose which apps you would like to restrict access to the internet. Remember that groovy app called Droid Wall? Avast! has its own built in Firewall, and it seems to work just as good. There’s also a Live Scanner that eats a lot of battery, but it can be turned off from the settings menu. The scanner doesn’t dig into the file system, it just covers the basics. Scanning can be set to a completely customizable schedule, which is nice if you’d like to set it to only scan while you sleep.

As for the rest, we’ll take a look at each feature below.Īvast! Mobile security comes equipped with a standard Android app scanner that has an option to scan the SD card for malicious APK files as well.

The first thing I noticed was that the app can be password protected, and some parts of it require that you assign a password. Some of the features require Root, and some of them can be used on a completely stock Android phone. It features a Virus Scanner, a Privacy Advisor, Application Management, a Web Shield, a SMS and Call Filter, a Firewall and an Anti-theft utility.

If you have questions about hiddn gps and tracking services in google or anything else just ask here.When it comes to Android security, Avast! is the full package deal. Simply grant ONLY the app who rly needs to. As said the very less rly need internet, they just want to collect your data and show you some ads noone ever need. Most of free games and apps want the permission to full internet access. Youtube app needs the mediaserver to work properly. At least if you dont want to shhare all your private contacts with google -) So the most apps dont need internet.

After singning in you can deactivate the ruke for it. Google play only need for sign in the google account manager. For downloads inthe browseer ofc the browser and the download service (not the app) needs the internet permission. If you dont use vpn the kernel doesnt eveer need to connect to the. But the very less rly need it.įor me everything is working without allowing internet for most of google apps. The second thing is rly almost every app of googles os wants to connect to.the internet. For.this you have to activate the logs first in firewall settings. If an app isn't working check the logs which app wants to connect. So no app has the permission to get access to the internet as long as you dont set it. Best settings for the start is at first the whitelist mode.
