anti virus

[islãnd]

Do I need to install an anti-virus in my phone or does Android will have its own security?

Samsung is secured with knoxx built in. I still use virus protection as well because I use some of there other features provided.

Hi islãnd,

Please note that "Samsung Mobile phones and Tablets have an in-built Anti-virus app installed which prevents the phone from being hacked so please run the antivirus on the phone.

The devices are protected with a highly secured Knox feature.

This will prevent any third-party malware from installing or operating on the phone.
Go to settings >> Click on device maintenance >> Tap on optimize now >> Select device security at the bottom >> tap on scan phone and check for malware/viruses.

Thanks, CynicalJerk84 for providing the information.

Use AVG Antivirus Pro. I use it for so many years and it works great! It also comes with anti theft, it helped me once when I lost my phone.

I use Bitdefender Mobile Security, and it's awesome! So many useful features. So much difference it made since I started using it on this used phone.

My phone does not seem to have Knox installed running Bitdefender but a virus has been installed but it not cleaning it out just stopping some but not all pages that are popping up on the phone S20 5g.

What? Is your device rooted? Make sure it's not. Give Bitdefender full privileges. Storage especially. You should try scanning via their central hub login. https://central.bitdefender.com
