I have tried: CM, AVG, OUTLOOK, NORTON, 360 AND THE LIST GOES ON. THIS IS THE BEST AND ONLY APP THAT ACTUALLY FOUND STAGE FRIGHT, AND TWO OTHER SECURITY ISSUES ON MY DEVICE. I KNEW STAGE FRIGHT WAS ON MY TABLET AND PHONES BUT HAVE NOT FOUND ANY APP TO ACTUALLY TELL ME IT'S THERE UNTIL I TRIED THIS ONE. I TOTALLY RECOMMEND THIS APP!!!!!
