Introduction

Dr.Web Security Space for mobile devices (hereinafter—Dr.Web) protects mobile devices running the Android™ operating system as well as TV sets, media players and game consoles running on the Android TV™ platform from various virus threats designed specifically for these devices.

On devices running Android TV, the centralized protection mode is not available. To check if your device and Dr.Web app version support the centralized protection mode, see Centralized Protection Mode.

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.
