Bitdefender protects your device and data against malicious applications using on-install scanning and on-demand scanning.
On-install scanning
Whenever you install an application, Bitdefender Mobile Security automatically scans it using in-the-cloud technology. If the application is found to be malicious, an alert will appear prompting you to uninstall it. Click Uninstall to go to that application's uninstall screen.
On-demand scanning
Whenever you want to make sure that the applications installed on your device are safe to use, you can initiate an on-demand scan from the Bitdefender Mobile Security interface. Your device's SD card will also be scanned for potentially dangerous apps. The scan progress will be displayed and you can stop the process at any time

If any malicious applications are detected, information about them will be displayed. Tap any entry to go to that application's uninstall screen.
Optionally, Bitdefender can scan the SD card in your device as soon as it is mounted (for example, when disconnecting your device from a computer or when inserting a new card). In this way, any dangerous applications that might be on the card can be detected before they can ause harm.
