Antivirus On Android Devices by Mac05(m): 10:48pm On Aug 11, 2018
It's been months since I last scanned my phone for any virus. I'm beginning to think my antivirus app is a waste of space.

Do any of you still use the antivirus app on ur android devices?

If yes, which one are you using/would you recommend?

The waste of space ain't here. How can one now scan his phone off virus?

Most antivirus on Android phones is a waste of space, instead you can download apps like phone master to manage your device. It has been very effective on my Spark 2.

That's interesting. Will surely try that app. Thanks

Absolute waste of space.
Stopped using them when I found out that all the so-called antivirus couldn't detect the fake ad-laden trojan horse of an app, I purposely installed on my old phone which was going on retirement.
Didn't even add any of them back when I finished setting up my new device.

Google Play Protect is all you need nowadays.

Been using the Phone master for some days now and my phone feels like a new phone. My battery lasts a little longer and phone stays cooler than b4. I love it and recommend it.

Thanks Abiodunspectre
