The different types of antivirus software for Android™ can be divided into two general categories based primarily on complexity and feature sets. Simple antivirus applications make up one of the main categories. This type of antivirus software for Android™ offers a no frills solution to dealing with malware, adware and other malicious code that can be encountered on the operating system (OS). The other type of antivirus software for Android comes in the form of security suites. These apps include basic virus protection in addition to a variety of other related features, such as data backups, task killers and even the option to locate a lost handset.The first type of antivirus software for Android™ takes the form of single-purpose apps. These antivirus programs are designed to scan newly downloaded apps for malicious code, though some can also monitor software that has already been installed. If any malicious code is detected, this type of antivirus software is typically capable of alerting the user, locking down the malware and preventing it from accessing any critical resources or private information. Another function that some basic antivirus apps have is the ability to monitor any data that is written to the secure digital (SD) card, which is another way to detect illicit activity.
