LoveLaceAV Overview LoveLaceAV is a FOSS malware scanner for Android. It is powered by ClamAV style signature databases and forked from Hypatia made by the Divested Computing Group. LoveLaceAV vs. MaintainTeam-Hypatia Time passed by and in the meantime another fork has been created here with some useful additions and fixes. At the moment LoveLaceAV is in sync with the MaintainTeam-Hypatia code and will continue this way as long as there is no important reason to change this. That means LoveLaceAV merges changes from MaintainTeam-Hypatia via CI/CD and the only difference between the both projects are different signature databases at the moment. That being said the database of LoveLaceAV is updated more frequently, contains more signatures and also domains for the integrated link scanner which are not integrated in MaintainTeam-Hypatia at the moment. See also the Signature Databases topic on this page for all details. Features
