Malwarebytes
One of the most trusted names in desktop security, Malwarebytes also provides an Android app.
The free version scans your phone for malware and removes any threats it finds. It also has an audit feature for app permissions, so you can keep track of what each has access to. And it doesn’t have ads either.
The Premium version for $12/year adds real-time detection and other features most people don’t need. For a no-nonsense virus scanner and remover app for Android, it’s your best bet.

Bitdefender Antivirus Free
Bitdefender is another solid virus removal app, mainly because it’s lightweight. Cloud scanning means there’s little impact on your device, and the app doesn’t bog down its core offering with a bunch of annoying extras.
You’ll still see ads to upgrade to the full version, but if you can ignore them, this is a fine app for a quick Android virus scan.
