Number 4 in our list but was a tough call to put it here. The features are enough to make you feel secure. With Child locating and online scanner this Mobile security has already built its own space in the competitive market. The support for wide range of OS is also an added advantage to its popularity.
This company always reports the detection of a virus first to the internet world. Just the difference they won’t tell what the virus does and takes around a month to release a patch for it. No offenses to the giant mobile doctor but they lack something which has never been filled in all the versions till date. They have everything that is need for the security and peripheral works but each time I have a look at it, it feels like some thing is missing.

After the company merged with the Microsoft Corporation there were many speculations about the integrity of the individual name.

It provides protection from almost every type of virus attack and the backend is really good. The algorithm it uses to detect and trap malicious code is well designed and very accurate.
