I’ve avoided Kaspersky products at all costs after I tried it use the product for my desktop security needs. Coming from Norton and McCafee, Kaspersky sent my personal computer into chaos.
When i saw this product for Android through the Vine Program, I decided to try it. My flip-phone husband upgraded to a smart phone, not the best of ideas. I needed some type of protection on his phone because he does a lot that we techie geeks know you shouldn’t do.
I installed it on my Samsung Galaxy and his Motorola Max. When I installed it on my smart phone, it corrupted my SD card, and eventually wiped it clean. I cannot 100% say that it was the installation of the software that actually did it. The jury is still out on that one. For now, I’ll assume it has something to do with it and give this rating a 3.
Because our phones are Android, you have the option in your phone’s settings to only accept installing apps that come from the Play store or unknown sources. Make sure unknown sources is unchecked for the sake of this download. Once you download, make sure you go back in to your security setting and uncheck it.
The software ran a scan and gave me suggestions on apps that might present a security risk and asks if you’d like it to delete those apps. So far, its going pretty good on both phones. I’ll apply a new update if anything changes.
