Introduction

Dr.Web Light protects mobile devices running the Android™ operating system from various virus threats designed specifically for these devices.

The app features technologies of Doctor Web that are implemented to detect and neutralize malicious objects that may harm your device and steal your personal data.

Dr.Web Light uses the Origins Tracing™ for Android technology that detects malware. This technology allows to detect new families of viruses using the information from existing databases. Origins Tracing™ for Android can identify the recompiled viruses, e.g. Android.SmsSend, Spy, as well as the applications infected by Android.ADRD, Android.Geinimi, Android.DreamExploid. Names of threats detected by Origins Tracing™ for Android are marked as Android.VirusName.origin.

Dr.Web Light uses Dr.Web Mobile Engine SDK—a set of tools that can be used in the development of high security software for the Android platform. Due to a variety of threat detecting methods, it provides protection from both known and new threats for mobile platforms.
