Presently, the issue of protecting information and personal data contained in mobile devices is of vital importance. The use of cutting-edge powerful smartphones presented by manufacturers as a substitute for personal computers, laptops and tablets, stresses the need for utilizing both built-in free information protection features and special antivirus software manufactured by recognized global developers. The article reveals the effectiveness of using built-in information protection tools for Android-based mobile devices and presents a comparative characteristic of similar tools applied with the help of up-to-date antivirus software.

Keywords: mobile devices, information, personal data, cyber threats, Android-based, viruses, protection of information (information protection), smartphones, security.
