IKARUS mobile.security lite

Hi Guys,

for all the lovers of testing results, whatch out latest AV-test results about android malware
http://www.av-test.org/en/tests/android/

this belongs to our hard working android developers and analysis team.

We also make it possible to use the lite version for free!

br,
ziggy

 

Great news Ziggy.

 

It's nice to see vendors offer many free options for Droids.

 

Very good for Ikarus. Not surprising though as they are one of the best.

 

IKARUS scored well on regular Windows tests as well as far as i remember. Though i don't know anyone who's using IKARUS on PC to be honest...

 

Well, I am using it on 3 and love it. Maybe its time for you to dump Avast and get some fresh air. Lol

 

I see that very unlikely to happen. I've been using many and tested many but i always return to avast! in the end. Be it features, GUI, direct contact with devs and just their way how they work. No other company had such charisma and feel for their users like avast! team does. And they truly appreciate your work, even if it's a very small thing you do or you did. Where with others i never got such feeling unfortunately.

 

we do it also that way, RejZoR describes his "relationship" with avast.

 

What does the different tone of green means?

 

Good Evening ! RejZor...currently using Ikarus I'm a satisfied customer ...and Ziggy and the Crew at Ikarus are certainly Customer Focused. I also have a license for Avast I.S.Version 7 and was impressed...but I like the simplicity of Ikarus on my P.C. Sincerely...Securon

 

maybe you will find someone!?

Does Ikarus Lite work as an on demand scanner only or does it scan applications etc as they are opened, also how does it compare regarding battery consumption? There is very little information on it anywhere!

Paul

 

Dont have IKARUS on a Android because I dont have a Android,but I do have IKARUS on the PC and love how its light and quietly protecting with no false positives yet or Automatic Deletions.

 

Paul, Hopefully Ziggy will pop in later to answer your question. In the meantime you can email him directly at:

djohn, congrats, it is a pretty sweet piece of software.

 

Thanks and yes it is.

 

Scans apps when they are downloaded; real-time file monitor that automatically scans Android apps being installed. Try the Eicar file in the market. Very light on battery consumption here on Samsung Galaxy II.

 

we use both tchnique.
on access when an app becomes installed or updated and on demand for sceduled scans
the battery consumption is not conspicuous (if you do not make a lot of full system scans in a row)

 

good description.
Thank You!

 

Not all of the family detected.

 

Running the lite version on my HTC Sensation and it is easy on the battery and memory. Thanks for the cool product.

 

new version rolled out (via autoupdate from the market) ver.1.0.23

engine updated, more performance for faster fullscan and some bugfixes.

our newest version including remote wipe out, gps tracking and much more.

 

Noticed last night that the last update to mobile security lite was in March which seems a long while to go without an update! Are there really no new threats for Android discovered since then?

Just seen the results of the latest testing and Ikarus are down at 63%, are the two things linked?

Paul

 

which kind of updates do you mean?
VDB (Virusdatabase) Updates come once up to twice a day (thats enough)
And the Latest Update from March was a new Scanengine (also the freeware becomes the same Scanner Update than our other products)

We also released a payment version with a lot of gimicks like gps tracking of the phone, remote wipe and manny more


Can you please be so kind and send me the testings because i dont know which tests you mean (there are a lot of).
Also i know much testing labs and most of them cant tell you how they come to their results, so it is important to get as much tests as appear on the planet ;-)

Thank you!

 

Hello!

In this test: Link IKARUS is not doing so great...
