Zoner AntiVirus 1.10.0
But, nowadays antivirus apps come with plenty of other features including anti-theft protection and the option of blocking calls and texts from certain contacts. Zoner is a full-featured antivirus app that offers lots of perks and features packed in an intuitive but dated interface.
The UI could use some improvements
Many antivirus apps sport sleek interfaces with features at hand, but they also make good use of animation and interactive tools. Unfortunately, Zoner doesn't. The interface could use some improvement, as it comes in a dark background with listed sections and almost no animation at all.
The app doesn't have a tutorial, but features a help section under the menu icon on the top right corner of the screen. It also comes with an activity log, so you can view the results of your last scan and all other actions you've performed inside the app.
Tweak settings to meet your preferences
You can have the app scan applications after they're installed or scan files when content changes. Other than that, you can have it detect adware in apps that send personal data, change bookmarks, show popup ads, etc.
The phone status shows you which features were enabled and how susceptible your device is to malware. It comes with explanations for each section, so you'd know what they do and why they should be enabled.
The app doesn't take long to scan your device for viruses. You can select which file/directory you want it to scan or have it only scan your SD card. Schedule scans so you wouldn't forget to keep your phone safe.
Secure your phone and block calls and texts from certain numbers
There are many neat features inside this app, including the option of sending encrypted messages or blocking calls from certain contacts. It also helps you find your device in case of theft or loss. Enable remote control to locate the device via SMS messages from another phone.
You'll also need to set a remote password to access the phone and assign a trusted contact. There's also a feature that notifies you whenever he SIM card in the device is changed.
Set an emergency contact to receive the notification message and edit the text. Zoner also shows you what permissions each installed apps need and it can also be used as a task manager.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
It could use an upgrade to the interface, as it seems dated and doesn't make use of animation. |

Surprisingly, it has more features that some of the more popular antivirus apps and doesn't need registration for anti-theft protection. |

It should keep your phone protected against malware without having you to connect an online account to it. |
Battery8
Consumption is moderate, the app shouldn't pose any security or privacy threats whatsoever. |
Price9
It's free but some features can only be unlocked in the premium version for 1.88$. |
Compatibility8
It should work just fine on devices running Android version 2.1 or later, making it accessible to many users. |
A really nice antivirus app with lots of features but dated UI.
