Should I enable KNOX security in smart manager?

[swa100]

Hello all,

In smart manager I can see that KNOX is disabled. Is it ok to enable this? Or will this cause problems with rooting the device later on? What's the advantage of enabling it?

Keep it disabled, enabling it will cause problems when/if you try to root.
It's the main source for all of the "Galaxy S6 (Edge) - Powered by Android" bootloops.

But isn't that the knox bootloader that anyone has regardless of using the knox security that you can find in smart manager? Isn't that more like a virus scanner that has nothing to do with the knox trigger in the bootloader?

Nope, not at all. Hit the learn more link under the option to activate the protection.
It's total bogus. They're actually monitoring the system, kernel, etc.,. for unauthorized changes.
When those changes are detected, the phone craps itself.
