Announcing (drumroll please) UP Antivirus 2.0

Announcing (drumroll please) UP Antivirus 2.0

So to make it official... Hey everyone! 🎉 We just dropped UP Antivirus 2.0!


We’ve developed a brand-new antivirus app as part of the UP Suite, that keeps your device safe and your data private. It's powered by cool open-source technology (like Hypatia and Tracker Control) combined with our own threat-detection intelligence.

Here's what makes it awesome:

  • Advanced Malware Detection and Removal - Utilizing cutting-edge scanning algorithms and a comprehensive database of malware signatures, the antivirus effectively identifies and eliminates a wide range of threats.

  • Tracker Detection and Reporting - Protect your privacy by detecting and reporting trackers that may be monitoring your activity.
  • Real-time Protection - Continuous monitoring and real-time scanning keep your device secure around the clock, providing instant alerts and actions against potential threats.
  • User-friendly Interface - Easily navigate through the application to initiate scans, view results, and manage detected threats with an intuitive and clean user interface.

  • App Diagnostics third-party tracker detection - The new UP Antivirus sniffs out third-party trackers on an individual app by app basis, so that you can see exactly the outside tools each app utilizes to attempt to monitor and profile you. The good news is your UP Phone puts you in control. When the Firewall in the Privacy Center is activated - which comes standard with your UP Phone and functions at the operating system level - it blocks most trackers' data and it blocks the sending of this data back to third-party domains.  

The new UP Antivirus 2.0 should automatically update via your UP Store connection and replace the prior version of UP Antivirus. To enjoy excellent protection and digital hygiene, we recommend that you run a scan as often as weekly or activate the real-time scanning. 

The launch of the new UP Antivirus 2.0 is just another testament to our efforts to make privacy convenient and to give our customers the most cutting-edge tools in the consumer privacy protection market. 

We continue to be grateful for such an engaged and loyal customer base.
