This discussion is about whether or not the presence of Antivirus in your Android smartphone. Because, many people are complaining about the presence of Antivirus will only slow down Android, while others say that Antivirus is an application that must exist in any Android smartphone.
In fact, Android become the operating system most widely used today. Therefore, do not be surprised if Android become the soft target of malicious elements who want to take advantage of Android splendor.
From Google itself, as Android developer, has created basic protection for users, with Google Play Services, featuring a real-time scanner itself, GPS can verify every application to be installed.
So, What You Need To Install Antivirus on Android?
I personally, Antivirus is necessary and unnecessary. In a sense this, sometimes Antivirus resource consuming or resource is large enough, because it must always be running (running) at the back of the system, so it can drain your battery. Of course such a condition would be inconvenient for users to lower middle class smartphone that RAM is mediocre.Conversely, if you have a large RAM and is not burdened with any Antivirus, ya better pair, for safety's sake as well.
How to Avoid Threats If Not Installing Antivirus
As much as possible do not install applications outside of Google Play Store. If it had, make sure the APK file that you want to install comes from a trusted source. Because it can be APK is already inserted scripts that can take your personal or financial information.Do not click or open any unknown links. Such as you get broadcast from a friend containing a link, it is good to first ask what that link, it could be a friend you've been hijacked to spread the scam link that will be detrimental.
Please also do not fully trust the applications in the Google Play Store. Google is not perfect, sometimes there are applications that are considered harmful but they can be downloaded from the Play Store. Preferably, prior to download, you first consider the reviews from people who've tried it.
If from me personally, I myself do not install antivirus on Android, because if we understand and can choose which apps are worthy install or not, all can be resolved. Only, of course it is risky. If you want to protect your Smartphone, you can install it.
Because, the truth can secure Android is yourself and not Antivirus, as you know and have to know what needs to be installed and not.
