Those stupid apps will drain and slow down your device. Since the past five years, I've never had an Antivirus app on my android and I've been doing great without it. Antivirus are only needed on PCs, it's useless on droid |

Don't download any of these apps . |

Android phones do not carry virus as exaggerated here. I've used lots of them. so I can tell |

You don't need an anti virus on your mobile phone (Android / IOS). |

MizMyColi:There's no yes or no answer so i'll give you the middle (What people call virus is actually Malware). Every app runs in its own sandbox(its own room) and apps are not allowed to do anything outside their rooms except you give the apps permission to do so and that is were malware (virus) comes in. So whenever you install an app, be very cautious of the permissions you are giving it and anything that looks suspicious should be removed e.g a note taking app asking for permission to use your camera or access your sms is suspicious and should be treated as a rogue app until proven otherwise. NB Any app that request for permission to see which other apps are running and see sensitive log data should not be installed. 3 Likes |

All these anti virus crap will only slow down your phone and in some cases kill your battery faster. The best way to protect your phone is not to click on shady links or download from shaddy website. |
