Ratings and reviews

It Actually found the virus in my phone, I tested them all, none manage to do it. KASPERSKY is the only one who manage to find and delete virus and malware in your phone for real! Don't waste your time with the other one. Kaspersky actually worked and I was a free user. Edit : 4 years later. I had a virus in my phone and again. Kaspersky is the only one that found it. Definitely the most effecient.

Also it keeps asking me "Let's see who connects to your home WiFi" but won't let me do it. It just sends me to a permisions screen even though they are already set OK. ...

Set up permissions then added my subscription from the My kaspersky web page and it looks to be working OK.

If you try to open a protected app in split screen or pop-up mode, not only will the content of the app not get hidden, but the authentication dialog screen will open separately and keep flickering and spazzing continuously ON ITS OWN, making it almost impossible to do anything until you manage to get to the homescreen. There's more...
