But if you don't need the extra features, then I highly recommend Bitdefender for all your devices. It doesn't have a VPN or anti-theft tools that some of the other apps include. The big reason Bitdefender Free Antivirus doesn't take the top spot is that it doesn't offer any other tools.

Also, although Bitdefender is a free antivirus app, there aren't a lot of ads that get in the way. I didn't realize there was a scan going on until Bitdefender notified me that it was done.

And Bitdefender dives deep into all your files on removable SD cards to ensure nothing is hiding anywhere.ĭuring my tests of Bitdefender Free Antivirus, I was able to keep working on my devices without worrying about my system running slower or lagging during a game. You don't have to use the autopilot feature, instead, starting and stopping scans manually.

There isn't a safe browsing feature or phishing filters to stop attacks, but its autopilot scans your device often enough to catch threats before they become a problem. All this app does is scan your device for malware that may have made it onto your phone or tablet.
