Malwarebytes Anti-Malware detects and eliminates malware on your Android phones and tablets.

If you’ve ever wanted to protect your Android device against malware, viruses, ad-hijacks and other stuff that can steal your data and ruin your device, you want Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.

For years Malwarebytes has been used by users around the world to protect their systems, their phones, their tablets, and even Android wearables like smart watches against malicious code and annoying ads.

So how does it work? Once installed, Malwarebytes enters real-time protection mode and scans both system processes and files to find malware as soon it enters your system. Malware has become more and more sophisticated over the years, but so has Malwarebytes!

When a threat is detected on your system the app shuts it down automatically; if it’s a process the process is terminated, and any file or program infected with the malware will be quarantined. Once in quarantine you’ll have a chance to examine what files are there and figure out if you want to keep them or get completely eliminate them from your system.

It’s important to note that this is a free trial of the pro version – once the trial runs out you’ll lose your real-time protection. You’ll still be able to scan your system as much as you like and eliminate threats once they’ve been detected, but this app isn’t as effective without real-time protection.

Other than that though, this app does a great job of protecting your system from malware, annoying ads and viruses.
