As Android is an open source OS, there are many apps that are actually viruses in disguise, and when they are downloaded and installed they can cause the Android device some real trouble. Android devices are also vulnerable to malware usually “caught” when users download stuff from the Net. It is therefore essential to install a good Anti-Virus app on Android devices. I have found Dr. Web Anti-Virus Light quite useful.
This app is free on the Android Market and requires Android 1.5 or up.
The app has a virus and malware monitor, which when switched on checks any newly downloaded apps or files for viruses and malware.
It’s always good to scan your Android device for viruses on a regular basis. The ‘Scanner’ function in this app will help you do this. You can have the app check only the installed apps, or all the files at a stretch. And if you suspect any particular files, you can run the ‘Custom scan’ option.
The ‘Statistics’ tab will give the lowdown on the usage statistics of the app.
The app places any suspected apps or files in the Quarantine category, so you can either delete those apps or restore them after inspecting them thoroughly.
This app is useful if you are prone to downloading apps from soures other than the official Android Market.
