Gooligan on Android, does avast protect against this?
« on: November 30, 2016, 10:11:12 PM »
Hello, I just read an article about "Gooligan", threatening android phones.
Does Avast mobile security (with current updates installed) protect against Gooligan?

n.b.: I wonder if avast has a database and a search function for known threats?
Thanks, Klaus

And the answer would be a yes or a no avast. How about it?

Hi, yes, Avast Mobile Security detects most variants of the Googligan malware.
To the database, sure we have a virus definition database, but no search function.
