Should you get an antivirus for your phone? Comparing two options on the best antivirus for phones may be tricky, but overall necessary.  

Whether or not to have an antivirus for your phone is a question that is at the back of the mind of many. For others, having an antivirus on their desktop or laptop computer is almost a must, but getting one on their phone seems to be an option. 

A few years back, this may not really be the case. However, with viruses and malware getting smarter and smarter by the day, every type of computing device is at risk. Transactions that are done using a phone is no longer just limited to calling and texting. It already includes everything from sending emails, online banking, editing documents, storing files, doing business. The capacity of our smartphones to perform things that are typically done on an actual computer makes it vulnerable to several security risks. 

Antivirus Software – Is It Needed

Having antivirus software on your phone is a good way to keep your personal and online information safe from hackers. This means that it is recommended to get antivirus software that will live to your needs, preferences, and expectations. Since there are a lot of programs that are currently available out there, knowing the best options, and choosing the best one, in the end, is very important. 

The Best Antivirus Compared

When it comes to choosing the right antivirus software for your phone, there are some ground rules that need to be taken into consideration. In this particular review, let us compare two of the most outstanding options currently available – Bitfender and Norton.

Other features also include remote location, locking, and wiping out of your device in case of theft and loss. There is also an Account Privacy feature that requests for verification whether there is an attempt to breach your email account. The best part is that all of these are available with minimal impact on the phone’s battery life. 

Norton Mobile Security & Antivirus

This package is award-winning virus protection and phone security feature. It also serves as a virus detector and a cleaner that helps in protecting your mobile devices against the presence of viruses, malware, and threats, which come in the form of malicious apps, as well as websites that are designed in order to steal your money and information. 

In terms of pricing and design, the Norton Mobile Security and antivirus are available for free download, offering basic protection. If you wish to experience the advanced features, you can always upgrade to the software’s premium version. This upgrade will provide you with access to web protection, contact backups, call blocking, as well as an app advisor tool.

Even though Norton, in general, combines together amazing antivirus features and protection, the design is just basic and simple. It comes with a central pane that offers easy access to each of the features. You may also swipe from one feature page to the next, moving forward and backward, making the process of navigation easy.

Conclusion

After performing a series of tests while incorporating what other users have to say as the best antivirus software for phones, many would agree that BitDefender has some advantages over Norton. This is not just talking about the overall features, but also the impact of the software’s performance. This is because it has been observed that BitDefender on phones does not cause lag problems.
