Android antivirus apps claim to protect your mobile device, but we found a ton of security holes and privacy risks -- one of them even exposes your address book.
 
Comparitech spent weeks testing popular free Android antivirus apps. We looked for flaws in the way each vendor handles privacy, security, and advertising. The results were eye-opening.
 
In many cases, you’re not getting what was promised in the Play Store. A lot of apps can’t accurately detect a virus. Almost all of them are tracking you. And we found a handful of serious security flaws, including a critical vulnerability that exposed user’s address books, and another that enabled attackers to turn off antivirus protection entirely.
