The traditional antivirus products exceedingly based on signatures are unable to detect such threats.

Trustlook was founded in 2013 and is headquartered in Silicon Valley, and the team consists of security industry experts. According to the developers, Trustlook AntiVirus runs a deep analysis based on the behavioral data of the device and this filters the malicious apps from the system. This technology helps in detecting even unknown malwares. The major benefits of using this app are as follows:

It can take up to weeks or months and can make the system considerably slow to operate. Trustlook technology is remarkable in addressing zero-day as well advanced malware within 24 hours of infection.
3. Automatic – The execution of the process of eliminating threats from the device is fully automatic and does not require human intervention. The sequential steps of action are pre-determined and in the following order: app collection, app static & behavior analysis and app risk report via its proprietary cloud sandbox technology. Also, it constantly analyzes the application behavior to create app profiles.
