About this app

Your phone holds your entire digital life. Protect it with Malwarebytes.

From banking to photo memories, your phone carries your most personal information. We make sure it doesn’t fall into the wrong hands. Malwarebytes delivers powerful, all-in-one mobile security against malware, online scams, identity theft, and more. All while keeping your Android device fast and optimized.

Malwarebytes is designed for everybody: professionals, families, even first-time smartphone users. No complicated setup. No IT expertise needed. Just easy, smart protection that works.

🛡️ REAL-TIME MALWARE PROTECTION

Malware is constantly evolving. From viruses to spyware to ransomware that locks up your files. If not caught in time, these online threats can steal passwords, compromise bank accounts, and hijack your entire identity.

Malwarebytes stops these threats before they reach you with:
- Automatic app and file scanning: New apps and downloads are checked for malicious code before it runs.
- Zero-day threat protection: Detect brand-new malware variants that other antivirus misses
- Ransomware shield: Blocks file-encrypting attacks that lock your device

🔐 IDENTITY THEFT PROTECTION & DARK WEB MONITORING

Millions of records are leaked in data breaches every year, even from top-trusted brands. Your emails, passwords, and more personal data may already be on the dark web.
Malwarebytes helps you stay ahead with:
- Digital footprint scanner: Scan dark web databases for exposed emails, passwords, and more sensitive data.
- Instant breach alerts: Get notified when your info appears in new leaks and steps to secure accounts.
- Identity theft protection: 24/7 monitoring with live-agent support and up to $2 million in identity theft insurance.

🌐 SECURE VPN FOR PRIVATE BROWSING
An incognito window can only do so much. No matter where you are, public Wi-Fi creates opportunities for hackers to steal your data and advertisers to track your every move.

Malwarebytes VPN keeps you private with:
- Secure browsing on public Wi-Fi: Hide your IP address from trackers and advertisers.
- Third-party audited no-logs policy: We don't track, store, or sell your browsing data.
- AES-256 encryption with WireGuard: Lightning-fast security across 62+ countries.

📵 AI-POWERED SCAM PROTECTION
Got texts about packages you never ordered? Prize alerts for contests you’ve never entered? Online scams are getting smarter, even impersonating trusted brands.

Malwarebytes Scam Guard flags:
- Phishing messages: fake delivery alerts, bank scams, etc.
- Malicious links: Real-time scanning of URLs in texts, emails, and messaging apps
- Evolving scams: Brand impersonation, AI-generated scams, social engineering attacks

🧹 DEVICE OPTIMIZATION
Security shouldn't slow you down. We keep your phone fast, clean, and running smoothly.
Malwarebytes optimizes for:
- Smart junk cleaner: Clean out junk and other unnecessary files.
- Storage analyzer: See what’s consuming space and what can be safely removed.
- One tap cleanup: Free up space in seconds. Goodbye, digital clutter!

⚡ SIMPLE, POWERFUL PROTECTION
Advanced mobile security doesn't mean clutter. We make it easy for everybody with:
- Clean dashboard: Security at a glance with color-coded indicators
- Lightweight performance: Minimal battery drain, even on older Android devices
- Set-it-and-forget-it protection: Scanning happens in the background

Ratings and reviews

I downloaded this last week, and it immediately started sending me multiple texts everyday to say that it was there and it was doing things. I reset the notifications so that I would only get notifications if it found something I needed to be alerted about. I am still getting notifications all day long that tell me that it's running. I do not care that it's running. I tried help, but there's no way to send the diagnostic data anywhere unless I already know the destination.

It does a scan and fixes a few things. Then it tells you you have serious issues and I need to upgrade in order to fix them. After paying $44. I need to pay More money to do what I thought I paid for! After paying for one year and haven't even used it at all for the last 5 months! It interferes with my workflow. Now I need to cancel my subscription before they chsrge again and in the app there is no way to do that. What a waste!

Warns of deceptive apps, but is deceptive itself in all the numerous ways they try to upsell with exaggerated claims - including on "select plan" screen, where there's a barely noticeable "X" in the unusual location of the upper left corner that lets you bypass paying before you've even tried the app. The device scanning is okay, but often over-plays the "threats" it finds (or could - for more money). You should know what you're doing already when deciding how seriously to take its warnings.
