Unfortunately, there are so many antivirus apps that are often difficult to solve, and the worst part of them are false.
According to tests by the Australian antivirus company AV-Comparatives, it has been found that out of 250 antivirus apps in Android that have been tested, two-thirds of them are characterised as fraud.
Applications are tested to determine if they detect viruses. It was found to be only 80 of 250 apps.
Also, it was found to be disturbing that the largest number of these applications were created by the same developers, where most apps were similar to each other, and the focus was more on advertising and less on concrete protection.
