Only the standard protection Google Play Protect running on Android is really nothing to write home about: 6 out of a possible 18 points. 3 additional apps still managed to achieve an excellent 17.5 points. The result of the tests is proof of high-level security for users of Android smartphones: 10 of the 15 apps evaluated received the maximum attainable 18 points in the test.
The test included the Android protection apps from AhnLab, Avast, AVG, Avira, Bitdefender, F-Secure, G DATA, Google, Ikarus, Kaspersky, McAfee, NortonLifeLock, (Total AV), securiON and Trend Micro. The laboratory of AV-TEST tested 15 protection apps for Android in terms of their protection, performance and usability – such as false alarms, for example. This is clearly demonstrated by the test, as the protection of Play Protect was also included for comparison. But they would do well not to rely on automatically available protection via Google Play Protect under Android. Once a smartphone has been protected by a good security app, however, users have little to fear that their device will be enslaved in a botnet.
In these networks, criminals pool the processing power, forcing entire cell phone clusters to harness attacks or to calculate bitcoins or other cryptocurrencies. That is why that latest smartphones are tantalizing targets for botnets. These powerful packages are of interest to cybercriminals, as their performance even enables them to be used for "mining", i.e.
Many modern smartphones utilize advanced 6- or 8-core processors, some of which are clocked at just under 3 GHz.
