Thanks for the link. Kind of wish they tested Zemana with this.

 

I totally agree I would love to see that!!

 

I think an AV for Android is worth only if it adds website protection.
This is the case of Sophos, McAfee, Avast and AVG (to mention AVs that offer it on the free version)

 

In the case of Sophos, everything is set to allow. You need to set them yourself.

 

Do you use Sophos boredog?

 

I do yes. The free version for Android.

 

It works ok? I am currently testing out Zemana.

 

Yes I tried Zemana and didn't like it. Tried most of them as free versions. Learned back in the 90's to stay away from Mc screwup my machine. AVG has become pretty good now days.

 

Why did you not like it?

 

I did not see the web protection .

 

Gotcha. I use DNS66 and use the Malware domains blocklist. It works for me.

 

I remember at default settings it blocked malware and phishing websites

 

At the moment they do not offer real time web protection, but I was told they do plan on adding it.

I'm using BD with real time web protection and like it, seems light not a lot of bloat with excellent AV scores.

 

I also use Adguard with malware list. Sophos works with Chrome and Adguard works with Yandex
