Recently I got given the chance to try out the Quickheal Security Android application. For those that don't know what Quickheal is, go HERE for NZ, or HERE for International. First impressions of this app were very good, very slick interface, very intuitive design. So I signed up for my trial, which was very easy and hassle free to do via the internet from my phone. To check the system overheads I ran a benchmark before installing, and after installing, and found no difference in the benchmarks, which means no noticeable system overhead. Installed some apps, and no lag. Checked the task manager, and yup, Quickheal is still sitting there, doing its thing. Now as I have it loaded on my phone I use everyday, unfortunately I can't deliberately go to a rogue website, or try install something that I know has a virus (in case things don't go well). Although I trust that Quickheal will keep me safe, I don't trust me to not do something stupid and have to reload all the firmware back onto my phone. From what I've been able to test, this app has done it's job well, and had no noticeable effect on phone performance. All round good app, look forward to its release. 5 out of 5!
