Free anti-virus solution from Avast is one of the most popular Windows of the Windows family. Naturally, the developers could not help but pay attention to such an extensive niche as the Android devices, releaseing the Avast Security application. What is good and what is wrong with this antivirus - we will talk today and talk.
Real-time scanner
The first and most popular Avast function. The application checks your device for threats, both real and potential.
If the "Debugging" and "Allow installation from unknown sources" options are enabled in your device, then be prepared for the fact that Avast will record them in risk factors.
Sustier Protection
In Avaste, a solution to protection against unauthorized access to your applications is implemented. For example, you do not want your friend to enter the social network clients or cloud storage that you use. You can protect them with a password, pin-code or fingerprint.
Daily automatic scanning
The application allows you to automate the process of checking the device for threats by setting scanning on a schedule once a day.
Network Security Analysis
An interesting feature of Avast is to verify the security of your Wi-Fi. The application checks how reliable your passwords is if the encryption protocol is installed, there is no unwanted connection and so on. This feature is useful if you often use public Wi-Fi points.
Check permission to your programs
There are often cases of masking of malicious or advertising applications under popular programs. Avast helps you find such by studying what permissions are required by one or another software.
After checking, all programs installed on the device will be shown in the form of three groups - with large, medium or small powers. If in the first group, in addition to the system applications known to you, there is something suspicious, you will immediately be able to check permissions, and if you need it, then remove unwanted software.
Blocker calls
Perhaps one of the most popular capabilities is blocking unwanted calls. The principle of operation of this option is a black list in which all the numbers are placed, the calls of which will be blocked. It is worth noting that competitors (for example, Dr. Web Light) have no such function.
Firewall
The option will be the Firewall option, which will allow you to limit access to the Internet for a particular application.
You can easily close the possibility of connecting and not give the application to use mobile data (for example, being in roaming). The disadvantage of this solution is the need to have root rights.
Additional modules
Avast, in addition to basic protection functions, you also offer advanced security features: cleaning the system from garbage files, RAM manager and energy saving mode.
