It does prevent websites from downloading stuff to the device when it looks suspicious. Also it checks that a network is secure and if it is not, it will show a notification above all other notifications, which is nice. Other than that I didn't encounter much else. I guess I just don't do enough iffy stuff on the phone for it to trigger. The desktop version is a champ though.

I guess the anti-virus works, cause I never seen to get one. However, I'm sick and tired of Kaspersky automatically updating my installed apps. When searching Google for a way to fix this, all of the pages listed are ones from Kaspersky's support site However, all were dated either 2018 or 2019. Regardless NONE of the workarounds were applicable to the current app version. For this reason alone, I'm uninstalling this app.

The app is an extremely reliable anti-virus, anti-malware, and VPN all in one which is great. The one thing to watch out for is battery consumption. My phone used to last 2 and a half days from full charge, now it can't even go 1 day. So if you have an app in background or foreground that eats up a lot of charge then this will be the last straw. Edit: as someone pointed out, the VPN keeps trying to turn on by itself and hence decreases battery life. Very good app though.
