In this smartphone world, I hope most of them aware and know how to protect your phone from viruses. But I am writing this post for the people who are struggling to protect their Android phone from the virus.
The Google play store is highly secured and it doesn't allow any malware to your phone when you install android applications from it because it's inbuilt virus scanner automatically scans and install the apps securely.
If you are the person who installs the unknown applications which are not from Google play store, then you need the best antivirus app to scan and find the virus. I prefer you to install and scan your phone using Lookout Antivirus because it has an excellent feature to scan your phone from its free version.
