Virus?

[Jaggar345]

Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone has any good suggestions for virus scanners that can help add security for my phone and make me feel like it's more secure.

Thanks

Huge resource hog. As for protection, hard to say, there aren't many Trojans or whatever out there yet.

Is that what you'll tell Verizon when you need to make a warranty claim? If so, I'll keep that one in mind.

I just installed that and it kept rebooting my phone so now I'm not using that.

Really ? I've had it on a few rims, and haven't had any issues. I don't think I had it, when I tried the carbon one though . I had too many issues to even try to put apps on it.

In all reality unless you're downloading a bunch of random stuff there's no need for it. I personally have never used it or had a virus. I see them as resource hogs in all reality, but to each their own.

I can verify that Avast is a nice antivirus on Android, It is completely free (no subscriptions) and has a built in Anti-Theft which is one of the best on android (On par with Cerberus) and is also completely free.

Webroot is awesome. 3 pc's and 2 mobile protections in one box. It even has its own secure browser for mobile. I highly recommeend it

I use the free version of Lookout, and I agree with others that Avast is another good one.

I use avg antivirus all the time on my android devices. It scans nearly all of my downloads.

Check yourself, looks like the virus got into you and made you do stuff on your phone

That sounds like a good virus. Wish I would have got that a long time ago.

Pretty sure everything is sand boxed so they can't do much not even sure if they can scan apps. If you are worried, don't side load asps
