Comments on G DATA Mobile Security Light for Android

★★★★★ Veronica Kahl (Persia Casie) · Aug 4, 2023
Hello to your team, with great respect, thank you very much for your policy on trial licensing, it is a common policy that the customer tries a product and if they meet the individual's needs, they buy that product, those who believe in their product will consider a trial license for people
★★★★★ teh epik · Apr 18, 2021
Great antivirus I have a question do I need to pay after the 30-day trial ends ?
★★★★☆ Dr. Suva Hom Roy · Jun 4, 2021
As a Germany based co. I first tried Avira, but after scanning with 'ClassyShark3xodus' found 11 notorious trackers inbuilt with Avira. Then I find G Data, - same jurisdiction AND only one necessary tracker which is also based in a privacy-safe jurisdiction - New Zealand. Let's see the performance. 🙂
★★★★☆ Farhad Аsg. · Oct 27, 2020
A light and useful security system that checking all files after downloading and recheck them before installing to prevent malware. Seldom it needs to update manually. Also, it can be used as a USSD Filter. Thanks to G-data engineers.
★★☆☆☆ DJ Evans · Jun 29, 2021
Is the tracker necessary to be in this app??
★☆☆☆☆ Ran Cohen · Jul 30, 2021
Why lie and claim you are free? Only 1 month free of pay does not make you "free"!
★☆☆☆☆ Music Music · Oct 17, 2021
I got a sms with an apk to download to listen to voice mail. G DATA said my device is clean after downloading the apk. However, I did a secondary scan with another AV app, and I got Andr/Banker-HAB. I knew the app was fake when I got the sms however I wanted to see if G DATA would detect the apk, unfortunately it missed it.
★★☆☆☆ Mauro Versteegen · Dec 30, 2020
I like the Windows version. I bought a license and it worked. In the Windows app it said that I could get it for Android, but when I tried to log in with my account it said it was invalid. I PAID FOR A LICENSE.
★☆☆☆☆ Adeyemi Adewumi · Nov 28, 2021
I bought the app for my laptop. The package is for one PC and one Android Smartphone. It is misbehaving on my PC and unable to activate on my android phone. Only trial version is working on my android phone as attempts to activate the full version are futile.

G DATA Mobile Security Light
Are you looking for a free antivirus software that will give you reliable protection no matter what you’re online, be it surfing the web, online shopping, or downloading files? With G DATA Mobile Security Light for Android, you can sit back and relax when using your smartphone or tablet:
✔ Real-time protection: The virus scanner automatically scans your entire device in the background. It blocks all kinds of threats, such as viruses, Trojans, and spyware – even when installing new apps.
✔ Scan button: Tap once and Mobile Security will comb your device for possible threats and remove them.
✔ Check app permissions: Easily detect if your apps are non-critical – or if you are being secretly spied on.
✔ Simple and quiet: Mobile Security is incredibly easy to use – and has no effect on battery life or speed.
✔ 100% Made in Germany: Our software adheres to Germany’s data protection laws and is guaranteed to contain no backdoors – neither for cybercriminals nor intelligence agencies.
✔ 24/7 support: Our support team is also based in Germany. You can reach us at any time by phone or by e-mail, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

30-day full version of G DATA Mobile Security for Android included!

With G DATA Mobile Security Light, you get the full version with numerous extended premium features that you can test for 30 days at no charge and with no commitment. The full version offers the following features:

► Flawless antivirus scanner with Advanced Scan
Protect your smartphone or tablet against all types of malicious software, such as viruses, Trojans, or spyware. Even directly during the installation of a new app, the scan engine detects every threat, with no exceptions. Thanks to the automatically loaded signatures, your device remains protected on the move, even if there is no Internet connection for a short time.

► Web protection
Our web protection blocks dangerous phishing websites that try to grab sensitive data such as your passwords or bank details, meaning you can surf, bank, and shop online with peace of mind.

► Rapidly find your lost devices
You have misplaced your cell phone or it has been stolen? Locate it easily using our online platform, or trigger a beep to find it. If the battery runs out, the app sends its location so you can find your device even when it is turned off.

► Anti-theft protection
Protect your photos, videos, and messages from strangers. With G DATA Mobile Security for Android, you can remotely lock your lost device or automatically lock your device in case of unauthorized SIM card change to prevent thieves from using your device.

► Protect apps with a PIN
Protect selected apps with a PIN. This will let you be able to put your phone down without worrying about someone making expensive in-app purchases or viewing your confidential data.

If you want to continue using the premium features, you can acquire a license for one year or one month with a convenient in-app purchase. When the trial phase automatically ends after 30 days, the Light version continues to provide full antivirus protection and shows you the permissions for all installed apps.

Important: This app requires the device administrator for anti-theft protection and the accessibility features for web protection.
