Stanners Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Hi Guys I'm interested in what people consider a standard install required to protect your android devices. What Anti Virus, What Ad blocker and any other software people install when looking to secure an Android device. Having a Windows background you get told to keep your AV up-to date and apply security patches but what applies to the Android environment?

Togijak Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 @Stanners There is no need to install any AV and other nonsense like this. If you power up the security of your smartphone the first step is to root your phone and than you can use Xprivacy and AFwall+. One more option is to install a antiteft App like Cerberus but that's it = You don't need more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdawg334 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Always keep a device that is supported by google so that it may receive monthly security patches and there will be no need for you to do anything extra at all other than accept the updates every month and make sure you only download apps from Google Play and the "allow unknown sources" stays off so a rogue website doesn't install a shady APK onto your device..
