Before downloading Bitdefender Antivirus, my phone shutdown 3 times and once even got heated up which was strange. This app scans only 9 apps so quick in seconds, thought it would red flag of issues and detect any virus but it does not. Just downloaded it recently, still new to it and just feel that it does scans (not everything) and if there is a virus, does not detect any of it. Just feels under seconds of scanning, phone is not safe as said it is, hopefully this improve over time.

With my high functioning autism and bad OCD. This is one of the best apps I have used. And the only one that does not annoy and bother me. It is straightforward and simple it protects you it scans things you download and looks at stuff that it thinks is malicious. That's all it does. After the initial setup, all you will have is a scanner. No bushit, no in your face fee and no ads. Plus you can upgrade to the better version whenever 👍

I installed Bitdefender when I phone was deeply compromised. Seems almost all my apps have been corrupted. I expect that when I installed the app, it was installed onto a phone that "normalised" everything on the app. The issue hasn't been solved but I've been working with Bitdefender to get the issue solved. They are working overtime to do so. This is why I gave 5 stars because they are just as committed as me for me to regain control over my phone. I haven't even bought anything yet
