Android antivirus protection is an issue that has come from Windows inertia where we were almost forced to use an antivirus.
What about antivirus Android?
There have been no "viruses" on Android for a long time, in fact it would be correct to say "malware". Since there were no dangers, there was no point in using an antivirus. However, the manufacturers of antivirus programs could not ignore the Android ecosystem, which in the meantime has become the largest mobile ecosystem in the world.
If at first you do antivirus programs were not on Android, they came with all sorts of functions that take the user's eye, like: emptying RAM, deleting cache, etc.
What is the current situation on Android?
Currently, a lot of threats have started to activate on Android, and the antivirus manufacturers are happy to keep telling us "I told you so". However, the current situation on Android does not look like Windows at all, and antiviruses are almost useless on this platform. On Android we encounter much more sophisticated threats, and viruses are not to be found.
We can sit without antivirus Android?
Android is not Windows, where most users use the administrator account. On Android, to have admin rights, we must do ROOT. This means that Android applications can not be installed elsewhere, without user intervention.
There 100% protection.
Of course, if a “specialist” sets out to make you, he makes you on any platform; But for the simple user, the basic protection offered by Android is good enough.
The user must be careful not whether using antivirus.
What to do to protect against malware?
Some important measures for a more solid protection:
1. Not unlock bootloader elsewhere
2. Do not root elsewhere
3. Do not install ROMs dubious
4. Do not ignore the operating system messages
5. Do not enable the installation of APKs from "unknown sources"
6. Do not install pirated apps
The most annoying and dangerous stuff.
The path by which we can most easily infect the browser, which can be used to introduce malware into the phone. Are sites with pop-up, super annoying, They can easily infect. It's like a dance through advertisements, which frankly we're all tired.
Last malware I met a script is taken from the browser that sends SMS to a premium number. Luckily I had ROOT and SMS could not be sent without my permission. But you know how it is, many people want to get rid of these banners and hit everything that appears on the screen.

And you can make a tutorial for blocking pop ups like Adblock would be welcome
Ad Block does not work properly without root.
I have an app, Block This! it's called, which goes well. Better half of the ads hide them. Use a Vpn connection.
Basically I can't have malware on Android.Ok.But if for example, I find on the internet through the Google Chrome browser, which comes pre-installed on all Android phones, a picture that I like and that I want to use as wallpaper.But that picture is infected with malware. Automatically when I download it from the internet to my phone so I can put it as wallpaper, I didn't infect my phone? Does the virus not enter my system with all its Android? And then I don't need it Antivirus? I use B ...... Mobile.
In principle, you don't need an antivirus on windows either, if you are a prudent user and you know where you are going ..... However, the reality shows that the inventiveness of cybercriminals is limitless and you can get infected even where you least expect it. An example could be the hundreds of applications infected with the so-called DressCode malware which, guess what ... could be downloaded from Google Play. Nothing at all ... malware allows you to listen to phones.
I've never heard of a picture being infected. I have never used any kind of antivirus on android, nor have I come across anything like this in 5 years ...
If you do not have root, you can give a return to factory settings and everything is ok. Codecs generally will slow your phone long enough
While a tutorial ptr chokes advertisements of applications? I AdAway and even does its job very well!
adblock for android (watch where you download), and you got rid of all unwanted pop-ups, respect
Cristi in the next tutorial to show us the best launcher!
DNS66, the best adblock (everything is advertising in any application) ... and as a luncher I think Nova luncher is the most complete
You need antivirus. As is prevention, and sometimes the virus escape from google them. Plus if you need more surf
I have a Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) mode SM-J320F and I can't find developer options. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks
Developer options do not have to find it but activate it. Settings> About phone (or Device information)> tap the Version number section 7 times.
Dai back / back and now his top About Phone (or device information) you have options developer
