Review summary

Users widely praise Emsisoft Mobile Security for strong protection and reliable malware detection, with many noting a clean interface and good overall performance. Several reviews also highlight reasonable pricing and value. However, multiple comments raise privacy concerns about permissions and data collection, and report stability issues such as an applock bug and occasional app launch problems. A subset criticize corporate partnerships with Microsoft/Google/Windows Defender as introducing intrusive features or compatibility/privacy trade-offs. Overall sentiment is positive about protection, with privacy and reliability caveats appearing in several reviews.

Pros

Strong protection and malware detection (behavior-based).
Positive usability with a clean interface and solid performance.
Good value for money / reasonably priced.

Cons

Privacy concerns due to broad permissions and data collection.
Stability issues and bugs (applock bug, occasional app not opening).
Negative impact of partnerships with Microsoft/Google/Windows Defender leading to intrusive features or compatibility/privacy concerns.

2026-05-31	*****	The software ran well, but when my subscription was almost up, I attempted to cancel it via their website, but was unable to find a way to do it using everything I could find for help. At the end of the subscription, my credit card was charged for another year. Anticipating a problem, I blocked the card. They have continued to try to charge the card.

2026-01-13	Mr*****	Emsisoft's international reputation is fully deserved. They've helped me on several occasions, and I'm both satisfied with and have full confidence in their virus-catching abilities. I particularly like the fact they look for behavioural patterns of programmes, instead of relying on an impossibly large and daily updated database. I first learned of them through a BBC article some years ago and immediately became a client.

2025-12-30	Yo*****	I used to love this app but not now. Now that they are Partnered With Both The ANTI-PRIVACY MS AND GOOGLE, they are just like so many other FORMERLY great apps that now want to constantly nag you to use their newly added "services" to the point that they insert themselves into every aspect of your online life such as protect your browsing" and text links etc which sometimes flags perfectly good links. Sad. Used to love it, but now I have to look for a new anti-malware. Google and MS svck!
