VirusTotal adds AegisLab as a file scanning engine

VirusTotal has announced the addition of AegisLab as a new file scanning engine. The Taiwanese company was already working with VirusTotal on its URL scanner, but this should raise its profile significantly.

The good news continued in AV Test’s latest Android Security report, where AegisLab’s Antivirus Premium 1.1  and AhnLan’s V3 Mobile 2.1 were the only packages to score maximum marks for protection.

If you’re looking for reliable app scanning, then, Antivirus Premium (a yearly $7.99) seems to deliver, and it also includes basic contact backup, antiphishing, and the usual anti-theft features (GPS location, remote lock and wiping).

Alternatively, AegisLab Antivirus Free delivers good core scanning features, and is able to check apps and your SC card during installation, on demand, or on a schedule. Take a look.
