Galaxy S

Hi Sipper, Your device is provided with "Device care/Device Maintenance" which is a built-in feature that gives you all the tools you need to keep your device running smoothly, automatically optimizing your battery, storage, memory and security. However, you could also find a third-party application of your choice in Galaxy Store or Play Store.

I use Eset Anti-virus for my S9 and also on my laptop computer. It is a great program that will catch and automatically destroy viruses in a matter of seconds. I don't need to do anything except start it and let it do its thing

Hi Sipper, Please try to open Settings >> Apps >> Tap on 3 dot menu >> Select Default apps >> Home app >> Select One UI home launcher and check if the issue got resolved.

Its unnecessary to have an anti-virus. Samsung gives you a safe environment where you don't have to be worried about.
