1. check for spyware 2. check the permission rights for all apps on your android for anything that looks suspicious 1 is obvious, but 2 is stuff like record audio for voice calls..... using your phone camera to take pictures of you .... tracking your location ..... knowing your android device id..... So whenever you install apps left and right without reading what permissions your giving these apps ... this program helps you track what apps have too much power, and you can then investigate whether that app legitimately needs it, or whether it is spyware it's your call.
okay so kaspersky has a very minor advantage in detection, but avast is free and has a firewall which kaspersky lacks.
But what really convinced me the most was
QUOTE
Kaspersky has No Root Support - This app, like many, lacks root presence, meaning it will be done for if a thief wipes your device before you can find another cellular from which to lock the device remotely.
On the otherhand avast has root support ..... so it protects your device from being wiped. the thief just stole a brick because wiping won't give him a usable phone, and the avast protection will still be functioning.
So Avast wins big time
