Is Antivirus for ANDROID – WORTH??
Hei Welcome to another blog,
Nowadays technology is evolving. So also Viruses are also evolving day by day. We all know about antivirus. Antivirus in some cases help you out …
Today I will tell you whether you need antivirus for your phone.
Many of our computing tasks have shifted from desktop systems to phone or tablet. In most cases, Android smartphones and tablets do not need installing the antivirus. However, it is equally valid that Android viruses exist and the antivirus with useful features can add an extra layer of security.
Can a smartphone get a virus?
Like desktops and laptops, smartphones are susceptible to viruses, although many users have no idea.
The code that currently plagues smartphones and tablets has a lot more variety in design than the earliest viruses. In general, this malicious code is known as malware. AV-TEST breaks the problem into two categories: malicious programs (malware) and potentially unwanted applications (PUA). But for most users, this distinction is not as important as the broad range of things these programs aim to do.
Malware can be embedded in a website or on a malicious Wi-Fi network that leaves behind code to redirect links to illicit sites or pretends to be a resource it is not. Its aim is to convince you to enter your credentials, making it possible for cybercriminals to steal your information.
Adware can be installed on apps that grab data from other parts of the phone. This information can then be used to lure you into trusting emails or other communications in the future. This software is very hard to distinguish from legitimate software.
Application software can be added to your device through websites or other apps that run in the background, either stealing your information or simply using your computer power and network connection to process information, such as mining cryptocurrencies or executing attacks on other web resources.
Downloading apps from locations other than Google Play or official sites can result in your apps being replaced by copycat apps that actually carry fraudulent ad-clicking software.
However, in case, if you also install the apps outside of Google Play Store, then it is better to install an Android antivirus app to keep your device secure. There are many antiviruses for Android, such as Mc Afee, AVG, Bitdefender, Avast Mobile Security, etc.
So after all do you need antivirus?
I would say you should be safe rather than being sorry.
Google continues to add to its defenses, which are built into the Google Play Store. But with 2.7 million apps and rising, even a very small percentage of misses is enough to spell disaster.
I prescribe that you should definitely install an antivirus.

So I hope you found this helpful. Please like and share this and support us. Thank you!
