Avast Mobile Security, the Android app that can scan for viruses, back up important data, lock personal apps, filter calls and messages, find lost or stolen devices, and more, will come pre-installed on ASUS Zenpad tablets.

Customers who get a Z170C, Z300C, Z380/CX, Z370C or Z370CG ASUS Zenpad tablet will receive 12 months of Avast Mobile Security. They’ll also get free access to premium versions of Avast Backup and Avast Anti-theft.
