The Malwarebytes Android 360° certification marks a significant milestone in mobile cybersecurity. The globally respected testing organization MRG Effitas awarded this certification to Malwarebytes Mobile Security, validating its elite performance against today’s most advanced mobile threats.
World-Class Threat Detection Validated
To earn the Android 360° certification, Malwarebytes had to exceed a 99% detection rate in real-world malware tests. This benchmark includes threats like banking trojans, spyware, text scams, and fake SMS payment prompts. Malwarebytes not only met this standard—it nearly achieved a perfect score.
“Independent certifications aren’t just trophies,” said Marcin Kleczynski, Malwarebytes Founder and CEO. “They prove our consistent focus on security, innovation, and keeping users safe.”
Why This Certification Matters
MRG Effitas is known for its rigorous, real-world testing environments. Unlike artificial test labs, its evaluations simulate live malware scenarios with active threats circulating in the wild. According to MRG Effitas CEO Chris Pickard, “There are no participation trophies here. Malwarebytes stood out as a clear leader.”
Zero Room for Error
Each certified product must demonstrate high accuracy while avoiding false positives. Malwarebytes not only blocked malicious activity—it also accurately identified benign behaviors, making it a trustworthy solution for everyday users.
Mobile Scams Are Growing—Protection Is Critical
With mobile usage rising, so is cybercrime. Nearly half of users encounter scams daily, according to Malwarebytes’ internal research. Even worse, 52% of victims experience financial loss, and 27% lose access to digital assets like accounts or personal files.
This data proves that a strong mobile security app is no longer optional—it’s essential. Malwarebytes fills that role with smart, AI-powered detection, consistent updates, and industry recognition.
Scam Guard and Mobile Features Enhanced
To bolster protection, Malwarebytes has enhanced several mobile features:
1. Scam Guard Improvements
- New onboarding screen and media picker tools
- Smarter AI filters for URL-based scams
- Sentiment detection for suspicious content like romance or money requests
2. Advanced Text Filtering
- Four times better at blocking scam messages
- Identifies shortened URLs and flags high-risk text patterns
3. Expanded Safe Browsing
- Now works with Brave, DuckDuckGo, Edge, and Outlook
- Keeps users protected no matter where they browse (Android only)
Trusted Globally, Tested Independently
Malwarebytes continues to invest in transparency and third-party testing. In addition to the MRG Effitas Android 360° certification, the company also received the AVLab Seal of Excellence in May 2025 for performance in the Advanced In-The-Wild Malware Test.
By collaborating with trusted evaluators, Malwarebytes ensures its tools perform reliably in real-life environments, not just in theory.

The Malwarebytes Android 360° certification highlights the company’s leadership in mobile threat protection. With near-perfect detection, AI-powered features, and global recognition, Malwarebytes delivers a trusted solution for millions of Android users.
