Kaspersky Antivirus for Android attempts to do for phones and tablets what the company’s flagship security programs do for Windows and Mac. While the antivirus portion is second to none with the best protection available, the VPN access is limited to a mere 200MB a day unless you pay extra or get one of the company’s cross-platform plans. Its Data Leak Detector, Smart Home Monitor and Weak Settings Scan can help tighten up your security stance but Kaspersky Antivirus for Android is among the most expensive phone security apps and malware scanning takes up a lot of system resources.
