AntiVirus PRO Android Security APK: questions and answers
Does AntiVirus PRO Android Security need Google Play services?
Yes. The APK declares Google Play services as required, so it may not work on phones without them, such as recent Huawei models.
Can I install this APK over the version I already have?
Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.
Is AntiVirus PRO Android Security free?
The APK is free to download, but the app offers in-app purchases through Google Play.
Is the AntiVirus PRO Android Security APK safe?
No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Unknown. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is eb309a34b82a3fece352f893dcf07bd1.
