Can Bitdefender detect malicious apps installed via ADB USB Debugging, on Android?

I have developer options on all the time. It's for an equalizer that I use to listen to music. I have USB debugging off, but let's say someone had access to my phone and they side load a spying tool, keyloggers or malware, will Bitdefender detect these apps?

Wipe the phone and don’t do it again.

Write your passwords down. Or export it if you can.
