Your beloved Android device deserves the best, and that includes proper protection against all of the things that can do it harm: viruses, ransomware, phishing, data breaches, and more potential threats. The online world can be a dangerous place, so it's vital that you equip yourself with reliable antivirus software to keep your device and information safe.

The good news is that there are plenty of impressive antivirus options to consider in 2025, including popular names like Norton to McAfee. But if you're looking for a free mobile antivirus app to get you started, Avast Mobile Security stands out as a great pick for Android devices.

In our rundown of the best Android antivirus apps, we named Avast as one of the best free antivirus and security solutions for Android. We said Avast "is filled with features that guarantees your Android will stay safe and your information secure. After all, Avast offers both real-time and on-demand scanning and easily checks the security of whatever WiFi connection you’ve logged onto."

Avast's free mobile antivirus app is a great place to start, but if you take your phone's security really seriously, you might want to consider an upgrade. And it's a good time to do exactly that, because Avast is offering a deal on its premium annual plans right now so you can get total protection against mobile threats at a low price.

As of March 10, you can score some of Avast Mobile Security's annual plans for 50% off for the first year. This includes Premium Security and the Avast One Gold, which are available for £42.50 for the first year and £69.99 for the first year, respectively. After that, Premium Security will automatically renew at full price unless cancelled. The process of cancelling this automatic renewal is straightforward, so there's no pressure to pay anything more than the deal price.

So why should you consider upgrading?

  • Premium Security — Blocks viruses, ransomware, and malware. Also monitors your apps for any suspicious activity, uses advanced firewall, stops webcam spies, helps you to avoid fake websites, and provides additional protection for your sensitive information.

  • Avast One Gold — Offers the same benefits as Premium Security, plus an unlimited VPN. Avast One Gold also monitors your online accounts for any breaches, automatically updates your drivers, keeps an eye out for trackers from advertisers, and helps to clean up your devices.

We consider Avast's Premium Security to be one of the best antivirus software options, noting that "if you're keen to pay for an antivirus rather than rely on a freebie, this is a great option. And it covers a total of 10 devices."

Stay ahead of the game in 2025 and download Avast Mobile security for free today, and then consider one of Avast's premium plans for even more advanced security options.
