Ratings and reviews

Unfortunately, the anti-virus database will not update on Samsung Galaxy's most current cellphone (since the last app update from Google Play Store). Interestingly, this app works fine on Kindle Fire HD tablets. While I've used this app for years on different devices without problem, it's not really of much practical use with an old, out of date database; a quick Google search seems to indicate that many others are also experiencing this issue.

After trial & error using many different anti-virus apps ESET is the very best for several reasons. I've reached out to their support several times and every time they were very responsive. Also their engine uses a low amount of resources to get everything done is very impressive. Its overall speed and flexibility within the app is a perfect fit for me and my customers' use. A teacher raved about it to me. Please give it a try, you will not regret it!!

Bought the premium version as I have a hacker attacking my phones, tablets. Figured if anything it would keep them from opening and using my apps with the app lock feature..... Well it didn't take them long to show me that the app lock feature is absolutely useless. Even with a fresh factory reset, fresh install and all security locks in place (Finger print, etc) , they are able to access everything on it. Only thing it does is send a notification that lets me know they have been on it.
