Important

Anti-virus Dr.Web Light alone is not enough to protect your device from all types of modern-day threats.

To protect your mobile device from all types of cyberthreats, use the comprehensive protection product Dr.Web Security Space for Android

Ratings and reviews

Dr Web is one of the older antivirus apps and anti-malware apps. It has a decent set of features, including quick and full scans, protection from ransomware, a quarantine space, and even stats. Along with that, it has good anti-theft features, call and SMS filtering, URL filtering, parental controls, a firewall, and more. I use it along side of AVG Antivirus it works very well together. I don't use it a lot once a week I run a full scan that's about it .

I run it on Android 8.1, but have used it for years as far back as Android 4. I do one thing with it. That's a one-time complete scan, monthly. For this manually initiated task, it's rock-steady reliable... the one software I have used which will 'custom' scan all parts of my storage & the system files. This job takes about an hour & accesses about one million files. It has never hung up or otherwise faltered.

The BEST free av for Android. I trust it with any downloaded app. Custom scanning, constant updates, simple and easy interface. If and when it does shut off, just keep the widget on and click, you're covered when installing new things. If you don't feel 100%, scan online with virus total. Everytime I do, it's clean just like Dr web stated. Also saved me from a few bad installs.
