Android anti-virus apps fail

AV Comparatives found only 80 of the 250 anti-virus apps on Google Play are capable of detecting the most common viruses.

The company found that many of the unsafe anti-virus apps had a four-star rating, according to GrahamCluely.com.

Only 23 products tested could identify 100 percent of malware.

Well-known brands performed best.
