external memory card is not part of your andriod and mind you antivirus can't protect your external sd.

but it will protect your phone files from being attacked. Best is not to even use your SD card anyhow.

looks like this will be covered in the kind of relationship between TrustLook and Tecno Mobile
yea, i remember trustlook. it is preinstalled on phantoms but not on the camon series. Any idea why?

Tecno brought Trustlook into the last Phantom phones. Some phone manufacturers can partner with cyber security experts to further protect the device. I don't really like third party app cleaners or antivirus

That's true o! As a matter of fact, I believe it ought to be in all their devices, except the relationship is limited to phantom series alone.

Really? How so? If it were useless, There wouldn't be Antivirus in the Samsungs, Sonys, Tecnos and other brands

spoilerx:


useless for android phones
Re: 7 Google Android Apps To Secure Your Android Phones From Virus by paolokonqueror(m): 1:18pm On Jul 24, 2017
Okay this makes much better sense

shiftback:

The traditional virus problems of the kind you might see on Windows or Mac computers do no affect mobile platforms in the same way because of the way they were designed.
According to the folks at Google, There is absolutely no need to install any antivirus app whatsoever on your Android smartphone. However, most of these antivirus apps like the one listed by OP listed offer much more than just antivirus. The antivirus is usually just one component of the Android protection packages. So a stand-alone Antivirus app is not necessary tbh but it is a good-to-have feature as part of a bigger package. Such packages often include easy-to-use backup features for user’s data, privacy protection like sim lock, app lock and remote wipe in case the phone gets lost, etc.

Nice one OP. You just spoke my mind here, with the regular updates and upgrades of OS, do we really need antivirus for own phones? I have just updated my Tecno L9+ too and I don't have any antivirus software on it.

cc lalasticlala, Mynd44, ishilove, Seun kindly move to FP abeg. let us learn.

I just got another updates on my CX yesterday

This your post is incomplete without ESET ANTIVIRUS . In fact it should be No. 1
are you trying to compare eset with CM security?
