Review: Antivirus Privacy Firewall is not your average antivirus. There is so much more included in this app. When you first fire up this app your greeted with an activate screen similar to the Android Device Manager, you should not skip this step as it will allow the app to work better for you. After that you’ll need to sign up for a SnoopWall account. This is a very easy process to complete.

SnoopWall allows you to set the controls that are best for you. The functionality of this app is amazing. There are various modes which are each unique and helpful. Autopilot mode essentially sets up the basic security and privacy settings for your device as your application and hardware port authority. There are various other modes, my favorite being Banking Mode which allows you to access mobile banking while keeping other apps from running the might spy on banking transactions. This feature is very handy and something I have not seen in other antivirus apps.

Speaking of other antivirus apps, SnoopWall allows you to run other antivirus software alongside it. If there is an app which is trying to accesses NFC as a example, SnoopWall will give you the heads up if its suspicious. The features found within can do much more than an average antivirus app you’ll find within the Google Play Store.

The main screen is very busy but in a good way. This screens shows you how much storage your phone I using, the amount of memory in use, the CPU usage and battery remaining. The main screen also allows you to control ports, apps start an audit and check privacy risks.

SnoopWall is by far the most comprehensive antivirus I’ve ever used. A paid version (Only $9.95 a year) extends even the features even further. It includes features such as phone call support and automatic app blocking or a neat family mode which includes a kid safe browser. These are just some of the features included.

Overall SnoopWall is a very good antivirus which ups the standards of what an antivirus should include. I highly recommend this app for all Android devices.
