A list of Best Security apps for Android


(All apps are available in Google Play, Search from android play store by name and find your favorite apps .)


The freedom of Android also gives bad guys the freedom to attack you. Stay safe with these handy apps.




avast! Mobile Security
Free
This completely free app packs in a ton of security features, like remote wipe, remote-lock, app management, safe Web browsing, a battery manager, and as an added bonus, a an anti-virus engine that received top marks from independent testing labs. It's incredibly lightweight, but it lacks a backup feature.

Bitdefender Mobile Security & Antivirus
Free, $9.95 per year
Bitdefender has all the features you'd expect in a top-tier Android security app: on demand scans, automatic scanning of each newly installed app, anti-theft tools, app reputation info, web security, and more. But its laser-focus is on security, eschewing time consuming scans and using a super fast cloud-based method. While the annual fee may be off putting, it's a third of what other big name companies charge.

Lookout Security & Antivirus Premium
$2.99/month, $29.99/year
Though my Editors' Choice for paid Android security is Bitdefender Mobile Security and Antivirus, Lookout's security app brings solid malware protection and ingenious anti-theft tools to the table. Lookout has also led the charge against aggressive adware, and it has been known to push out fixes to core Android issues before OS patches are released. It also has an impressive free version once your free trial runs out, giving you access to core features that will keep your phone safer.

LastPass Password Mgr Premium
Free, $1 per month
A major overhaul to this powerful password manager finally looks as good as it performs. With LastPass, you can access your saved passwords, secure notes, and filled forms from your Android, and you can also create new ones that will sync to all your devices. The new version of the app ingeniously melds the password manager with a built-in browser, putting the app's auto-login features at the forefront. Staying safe has never been easier.

Mr. Number-Block calls, texts
Free
Sometimes you just don't want people to bother you, and that's where Mr. Number comes in. With this app, you can block calls and SMS messages from specific people, code prefixes, and whole area codes. It can also help you fight back against intrusive calls and texts with an easy spam-reporting system.

Orbot: Proxy with Tor
Free
Tor is probably more famous for providing access to the so-called "Dark Web," but it's also a useful way to connect to the Internet while keeping your movements private. Working with a special browser, Orbot connects you to Tor within seconds. However, I did find that it sometimes takes a few attempts to get online.

Hotspot Shield VPN for Android
Free
The desktop version of this VPN service won an Editors' Choice award for VPN, and it also works great on Android. With just a few taps, your traffic is encrypted and routed through the developer's secure servers keeping your activities safe from snoopers. If you need to check your bank account or any other sensitive information over a public Wi-Fi network, this is the way to go.
