Mobile antivirus protects you from phishing scams

Did you know that mobile antivirus apps can protect you from phishing scams? We put free and paid-for antivirus apps through our lab tests and compared them against the built-in security that comes with Apple and Android phones.

We subjected each mobile antivirus app to at least 200 known phishing sites on the internet and found that all of them were more effective than the built-in protection from Apple and Android. What’s more, we even found a free Best Buy, meaning you can protect your device without needing to pay.

Discover which antivirus apps are the most effective in safeguarding your mobile phone against phishing scams.
