The scan feature of this Bitdefender Anti-virus product seems to be working. There is actually a green progress meter. But I'm giving 3 stars to the company due to a couple issues. First, because the "superior" product, the Bitdefender Mobile Security, didn't do anything when I hit the the "start scan" button. Not superior. The Mobile Security version also still seemed to keep popping up the "start scan" notice. Second, the Anti-virus version didn't have a scan history feature.

Works perfectly. Does not slow down phone or drain the battery. You'll never even know that it is working until you actually try to download some malware then suddenly it comes to life warning you not to do it. It's constantly scanning your phone in the background and you never even realize it unless it finds something. It's completely free and one of the few high-quality antivirus apps that has automatic scanning on the free version. Bitdefender usually ranks as the best antivirus on the market

Recently started using the free version of Bitdefender Antivirus. So far, I haven't had any alerts notifications as I have experienced in the past. Lately, noticing some slowing and glitching of my device, which most times are tell-tale signs of system manipulations, not always though. Note, testing is on older device. Allowing free version the timeframe needed before developing a final opinion for any need for the more advanced (paid) version, and considerably higher level of protection.
