About this APK

malware scanner APK: questions and answers
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 the malware scanner APK safe?
No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store's check of the developer's signature failed. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is f6367d620fe8dfa9a5fe14f9d838d33c.
