It’s simple, complete, and doesn’t compromise battery life or speed.

G DATA Mobile Security for Android – Your all-included, worry-free service package

► Flawless antivirus scanner with Advanced Scan
Our antivirus is like your own silent but sizeable bodyguard. It unobtrusively scans your entire device in the background and blocks all kinds of malware, including viruses, ransomware Trojans, and dangerous apps. Even directly during the installation of a new app, two scan engines detect every threat, with no exceptions. Thanks to its cloud connection, your antivirus software is always kept up to date.

► Prying eyes don’t stand a chance
In addition to traditional malware, our Mobile Security also stops stalkerware that can listen in on private conversations through your microphone, for instance. G DATA is the only security app that detected 100 percent of all tested stalkerware apps in the AV-Comparatives Test 2021.

► Safe surfing, banking, and shopping online
The web protection blocks dangerous phishing websites that want to grab sensitive data such as your passwords or bank details, meaning you can surf, bank, and shop online with peace of mind.

► Quickly find your device
You have misplaced your cell phone or it has been stolen? Locate it easily using our online platform, or trigger a beep to find it. If the battery runs out, the app sends its location so you can find your device even when it is turned off.

► Anti-theft protection
Protect your photos, videos, and messages from strangers. With G DATA Mobile Security for Android, you can remotely lock your lost device or wipe all of the data on it. Automatically lock your device in case of unauthorized SIM card change to prevent thieves from using your device.

► Full control over your apps
Easily check your app permissions with our Mobile Security, allowing you to detect if your apps are non-critical – or if you are being secretly spied on. You can also protect selected apps with a PIN so you can put your phone down without worrying about someone making expensive in-app purchases or viewing your confidential data.

► 100% Made in Germany
Our software adheres to Germany’s data protection laws and is guaranteed to contain no backdoors – neither for cybercriminals nor intelligence agencies.

► Free 24/7 support
Our support team is also based in Germany. You can reach us at any time by phone or by e-mail, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Important:
• The quoted price is for one year, after which you need to pay for a license renewal.
• This app requires the device administrator for anti-theft protection and the accessibility features for web protection.

Ratings and reviews

This is a very good and easy to use antivirus app in most cases, but the app lock doesn't lock my settings properly or Chrome ethier, it's a little wonky. And I don't like the timer info on the status bar icon ethier.

I'm constantly being forced into the app permissions screen to allow it access to nothing to make theft protection work. No way to tell the app not to turn on theft protection and all the permissions are active! There's a bug in the latest update. Previous to that it would always stop working - I would get the popup from Android saying it had stopped working would I like to close the app or wait. A few updates ago this never happened...

App Is good but I can't update signature update and showing 1984... Update March 06: uninstalled and installed and now working fine
