如果您和我们许多人一样是Android 用户，您可能已经知道，(Android user)操作系统(operating system)的高度可定制性和可用的免费应用程序的海量选择也意味着使用该平台意味着更高的安全风险(security risk)。幸运的是，还有大量适用于Android的安全产品：有些非常好，有些则不怎么样。如果您想了解更多关于安全市场(security market)领导者之一的信息，请务必阅读Bitdefender Mobile Security 2016的这篇评论：
Bitdefender 移动安全(Bitdefender Mobile Security)- 它能为您做什么？
顾名思义，Bitdefender Mobile Security for Android不仅仅是一款防病毒软件(antivirus software)：它是一个成熟的安全套件(security suite)，包含许多模块，可以帮助您高度安全地使用您的Android 设备。(Android device)以每年 14.95 美元（或 9.95 欧元）的价格，您可以获得以下模块：
-
Malware Scanner - 这是一个防病毒模块(antivirus module)，负责处理所有不需要的应用程序和恶意软件。它有一个按需扫描仪和一个自动扫描引擎(scanning engine)。
-
隐私顾问(Privacy Advisor)- 检查您的应用程序并根据您使用的内容评估您的隐私。该评级基于您的应用程序如何使用您的个人信息。
-
网络安全(Web Security)- 为您提供安全的浏览体验(browsing experience)，通知您任何报告的攻击站点或危险网页。
-
防盗(Anti-Theft)- 跟踪您的手机，以便您在手机丢失或被盗时找到或锁定它。
-
应用程序锁定(App Lock)- 您可以使用PIN码锁定您的应用程序，这样任何人都无法访问您的设备。
除了这五个主要模块之外，Bitdefender Mobile Security 2016还有一个仪表板(Dashboard)，您可以在其中检查您的设备是否安全，阅读有关安全性的任何重要消息，查看上次安全扫描的运行时间，并通过点击开始扫描(Start scan)立即启动一个。它的最后一个模块是报告(Reports)，您可以在其中查看任何最近的安全相关事件以及当前和前几周的完整安全报告。
为Android设置Bitdefender 移动安全(Bitdefender Mobile Security)
为了测试这个安全解决方案(security solution)，我们使用了在Android 5.1.1上运行Cyanogen OS 12.1的(Cyanogen OS 12.1)OnePlus One智能手机。从Google Play 商店(Google Play Store)下载Bitdefender Mobile Security后，我们使用我们的Bitdefender 帐户(Bitdefender account)对其进行了签名。如果您没有，您可以在启动应用程序时或在My Bitdefender 网站(My Bitdefender website)上创建它。
您应该做的第一件事是运行安全扫描 - 该应用程序也建议这样做，只需轻按一下即可。完成扫描后，您还应该设置防盗模块：为此，您需要授予应用程序管理权限，输入防盗(Anti-Theft)和朋友电话(phone number)使用的PIN 码(PIN code)如果您的设备丢失或被盗，您可以使用该号码进行远程控制。(remote control)这就是您需要做的所有设置，一切都是开箱即用的，无需任何特殊配置。
注意：(NOTE:)您可以从Google Play 商店(Google Play store)下载的Bitdefender Mobile Security是安全套件(security suite)的 14 天试用版(trial version)。为了在试用期(trial period)结束后继续使用它，您需要在Bitdefender 网站(Bitdefender website)上购买许可证。获得许可证密钥(license key)后，您可以通过点击应用程序主菜单上的激活码(Activation code)来输入它。
设置 Bitdefender Mobile Security 是一个非常简单直接的过程，您不需要任何特殊知识即可，因为它的安装方式与 Google Play 商店中的任何其他应用程序一样。它需要一个 Bitdefender 帐户这一事实有点麻烦，但它是一个免费帐户，您可以很快获得一个并且不会收到任何垃圾邮件。整体的设置体验非常好，基本上除了防盗模块你不需要设置太多：该应用程序就可以运行。(Setting up Bitdefender Mobile Security is a very easy and straightforward process, you don't need any special knowledge to do it, as it installs just like any other app from the Google Play store. The fact that it requires a Bitdefender account is a bit cumbersome, but it's a free account, you can get one fairly quickly and you won't receive any spam messages. The overall setup experience is very good, as basically you don't need to set up much besides the Anti-Theft module: the app just works.)
使用恶意软件扫描程序
正如我们之前提到的，恶意软件扫描程序(Malware Scanner)有两种操作模式：手动和自动。要开始手动扫描，只需点击恶意软件扫描程序(Malware Scanner)页面上的开始扫描。(Start Scan)这将扫描您的设备中的恶意软件并显示扫描结果。
称为Autopilot的自动扫描引擎(scanning engine)始终处于启用状态，因此您无需对其进行任何设置。这会在安装和更新时扫描所有应用程序，并通知您任何可能的威胁。Bitdefender还可以让您立即使用PIN 码(PIN code)锁定新安装的应用程序，并显示有关它们的任何隐私问题。
事实证明，恶意软件扫描程序非常快速，因为它在几秒钟内扫描了大约 20GB 的数据。永远在线的 Autopilot 使该模块成为一个非常有用的模块，因为所有用户肯定会受到恶意应用程序的保护，因为他们肯定会激活永久保护。(The Malware Scanner proved to be a very quick one, as it scanned about 20GB of data in a matter of seconds. The always-on Autopilot makes this module a very useful one as all users will surely be protected from malicious apps, since they will surely have a permanent protection activated.)
使用隐私顾问
隐私顾问(Privacy Advisor)的目标是让您了解可能对您的个人信息构成风险的应用程序。打开此模块后，您将获得一个隐私分数(Privacy Score)，该分数应该可以很好地概述您的设备对您的个人数据的安全性。除了分数之外，您还将看到与您的数据有任何关系的应用程序列表。
不幸的是，隐私顾问(Privacy Advisor)并不是听起来那么有用的工具：我们在测试期间在我们的设备上拥有的大多数应用程序都没有被Bitdefender分析，因此它们的隐私分数(privacy score)只是根据它们所需的权限作为线索进行估计。这使得隐私顾问(Privacy Advisor)更像是所有应用权限的概览，因为它并没有真正提示您哪些应用会构成真正的危险。例如，Facebook显示为未分析，但根据其权限存在五种可能的隐私威胁。
尽管如此，Privacy Advisor中的过滤器还是很方便的：它可以让您根据应用程序的权限过滤应用程序，这样您就可以快速查看哪些应用程序会花费您的资金，或者哪些应用程序可以跟踪您的位置。
如果 Bitdefender 可以分析许多应用程序，隐私顾问可能是一个非常有用的工具。目前，它更像是使用方便的过滤器对应用程序权限的概述。(The Privacy Advisor could be a really useful tool, if many applications would be analyzed by Bitdefender. Currently, it is more like an overview of application permissions with a handy filter.)

Bitdefender Mobile Security - What can it do for you?
As its name suggests, Bitdefender Mobile Security for Android is more than just an antivirus software: it is a full-fledged security suite with many modules that can help you use your Android device with a high degree of safety. For a yearly price of 14.95$ (or 9.95 euros) you get the following modules:
-
Malware Scanner - this is the antivirus module that takes care of all unwanted apps and malicious software. It has an on-demand scanner and also an automatic scanning engine.
-
Privacy Advisor - checks your applications and rates your privacy based on what you use. The rating is based on how your apps use your personal information.
-
Web Security - provides you with a safe browsing experience, notifying you of any reported attack sites or dangerous web pages.
-
Anti-Theft - tracks your phone, so you can locate it or lock it down in case if it gets lost or stolen.
-
App Lock - you can lock your applications with PIN codes, so they will be inaccessible for anyone getting their hands on your device.
Besides these five main modules, Bitdefender Mobile Security 2016 also has a Dashboard where you check if your device is safe, read any important messages regarding security, see when the last security scan ran and immediately start one by tapping Start scan. Its last module, Reports is where you can see any recent security-related events and complete security reports for the current and previous weeks.
Setting up Bitdefender Mobile Security for Android
For testing this security solution we have used a OnePlus One smartphone running Cyanogen OS 12.1 on Android 5.1.1. After downloading Bitdefender Mobile Security from the Google Play Store we signed it with our Bitdefender account. If you don't have one, you can create it upon launching the app, or on the My Bitdefender website.
The first thing you should do is running a security scan - the app also advises this, it only takes a tap. Once you're done with the scan, you should also set up the Anti-Theft module: for this to work, you need to give administrative privileges to the application, enter a PIN code to be used by Anti-Theft and a friend's phone number you can use for remote control if your device is lost or stolen. That is all the setup you need to do, everything works out-of-the-box, without any special configuration.
NOTE: The Bitdefender Mobile Security you can download from the Google Play store is a 14-day trial version of the security suite. In order to continue using it after the trial period has expired, you will need to purchase a license on the Bitdefender website. Once you have obtained a license key, you can enter it by tapping Activation code on the app's main menu.
Setting up Bitdefender Mobile Security is a very easy and straightforward process, you don't need any special knowledge to do it, as it installs just like any other app from the Google Play store. The fact that it requires a Bitdefender account is a bit cumbersome, but it's a free account, you can get one fairly quickly and you won't receive any spam messages. The overall setup experience is very good, as basically you don't need to set up much besides the Anti-Theft module: the app just works.
Using the Malware Scanner
As we have noted earlier, the Malware Scanner has two modes of operation: manual and automatic. In order to start a manual scan, just tap Start Scan on the Malware Scanner page. This will scan your device for malware and display the scan's results.
The automatic scanning engine, called Autopilot , is always enabled, so you don't have to set up anything about it. This scans all apps on installation and when updating them, and notifies you of any possible threats. Bitdefender will also let you immediately lock newly installed apps with a PIN code and will show any privacy issues about them.
The Malware Scanner proved to be a very quick one, as it scanned about 20GB of data in a matter of seconds. The always-on Autopilot makes this module a very useful one as all users will surely be protected from malicious apps, since they will surely have a permanent protection activated.
Using the Privacy Advisor
The goal of the Privacy Advisor is to let you know about applications that can pose a risk to your personal information. Once opening this module, you get a Privacy Score that should be a good overview of how safe is your device regarding your personal data. Besides the score you will also see a list of applications that have anything to do with your data.
Unfortunately the Privacy Advisor is not such a useful tool as it sounds: most of the applications we had on our device during testing were not analyzed by Bitdefender, so their privacy score was only estimated as clues based on the permissions required by them. This makes the Privacy Advisor more like an overview of all app permissions, as it doesn't really give you a hint about which apps can pose real danger. For example, Facebook is shown as not analyzed, but with five possible privacy threats based on its permissions.
Still, the filter in the Privacy Advisor can be handy: it lets you filter applications based on their permissions, so you can quickly see which ones can cost you money, or which ones can track your location.
The Privacy Advisor could be a really useful tool, if many applications would be analyzed by Bitdefender. Currently, it is more like an overview of application permissions with a handy filter.
