This is only because Norton supplies a way to remotely lock your device. Of course, when compared to the two runner-ups Norton wasn’t that far behind Lookout. Avast! provided root-level protection that the other two competing apps did not – which for me is a big deal. Avast! is a little more complicated to set up and use, but it left me feeling more confident in the ability to recover my smartphone and protect sensitive data if it was ever stolen or missing. It bolsters more than three times the features, and it doesn’t try to lure you into a paid subscription. When put up against each other, it’s no contest for Avast! to outrank either of the two Android security apps. I also added a bonus category called “Ease of Use” that gave each app up to three bonus points for being easy to set up and use. If the app couldn’t perform the feature for free, it didn’t receive any points in that category. If it performed poorly it received one point. If an app performed excellently in that category I gave it three points. In order to compare the three different apps, I took all of the free features available in each app and cumulated them into 10 different categories worth up to three points each. On the other hand, Avast! is completely free and doesn’t offer a paid account or advertisements. The subscription cost is around ~$30 per year, and Norton’s is limited to one device.
