Install the Xposed Framework and activate XPrivacy. It acts as a firewall. This, together with one antivirus should make you feel a litlle bit safer.

Don't store or transmit sensitive information on a device where hardware and software is designed 100% for convenience. Problem solved.

I think having more than 1 antivirus installed on android device is fine, but it should be at least a quad-core phone.

Anti-virus software is just another piece of software running on your machine. Can you trust it? Can you trust someone won't infect it?

Any computer should have the minimum amount of software running, not the maximum.

Okay, bottomline, is it okay/better to have more than 1 antivirus / anti malware?  Or 1 antivirus + 1 anti malware, or just 1 comprehensive antivirus is enough?
Multiple antiviruses might lag your device and prevent usage of many apps, especially the resource intensive ones.

Its not a good idea:

They will try to kill each other. They search your system for programs that are monitoring and sending information about your system, a competing antivirus program that is monitoring and sending information about your system tends to look like a virus, so it will attempt to block it and remove it.

They will fight over viruses. When an antivirus program encounters a virus, it removes it and quarantines it. But if a competing antivirus program sees that quarantined file and wants to remove and quarantine it in accordance with its own objectives, then it will repeatedly send reports and notifications about this virus that it is detecting.

They will sap your power. Antivirus programs use a lot of your system memory to conduct system scans and other related operations. If you have two of these operating simultaneously, your system’s effectiveness can be greatly diminished or completely wiped out altogether, and without any benefit, since the two are performing redundant operations.

I don't have any antivirus software on my android phone, but I don't download android games either. I did play around with a few android antivirus software a couple of years ago, there were some that offers "realtime" protection, and some offer app scanning only when you install new apps. If you decide to install 2 antivirus software, choose one from each type and you should be relatively safe.

I believe sensible use of the device is much more important (like no rooting, no games and only install apps from reputable developers)

Just my opinion, but it is better not to run a bitcoin wallet on Android at all. Wasn't there an exploit found recently that left all wallets susceptible. Nothing to do with anti-virus, anti-malware ...... in the OS itself.

is it ok to use more than one condom at once? Wink

Really, so the guy above you that has been using 2 condoms plus DNA testing is actually not being that safe?


You should always use 3 condoms. That is the safest.

Think of the  cost Wink

I am thinking, you can last for ages. Because your dick can't feel shit.  Grin

Sounds right in theory, you should try it and give us a report Wink
