Easy to set up, and works while being FREE. You can upgrade for better protection and more features, but it will can your device and clear any errors for absolutely NOTHING. I love this app, scanned and cleared my device in like 5 mintues. Will probably upgrade. 10/10, would recommend.

This app took me thirty seconds to set up, make my account, and start a scan. This app is super easy to use, you can find whatever you need easily, and it scanned more apps and files I even knew I had. I am using the free version, but for only $7.50 a YEAR, you can get web protection and microphone protection. This app is genius. It does regular scans, and you get notified about any errors anywhere on your device. It can even be used to delete clutter from your files! I definitely reccommend it.

Don't do this update!! Did on my other devices, & now the app doesn't show results of scans of updated other apps. You just get a blank dialog box! Their customer service representative refused to help, & actually told me to find another anti-virus app!! UPDATE: 9/17/2018 Avira issued an update last week. I updated my Android devices & the issue has been resolved. Thank you Avira, but I should not have had to write a bad review. Your customer service should have been willing to help, but they would not! New update: Once again Avira not working properly! I have had a scan schedule set, but now I can only get a scan when I do it manually! Also, everytime I plug my phone in to charge I get a dialogue box telling me that overcharge protection is enabled! I DO NOT HAVE THAT FEATURE ENABLED!!! Think it's time for a new antivirus app for ALL my devices. Trying to contact customer service is impossible!
