Review by Michael

I don’t think most need android security software. Those who just download a few games from the official play store here and there don’t have much chance of running into a virus (in the US at least). I’m a computer tech and have seen phones that were dying. I’ve seen phones with misbehaving apps causing trouble. I’ve seen android or ios corrupted. I’ve seen dying SD cards and most every other problem you see with phones. And I’ve never seen a phone virus.

And on the Galaxy S3, I found this software acted quirky. I had glitches and freezes with the software installed that went away once it was uninstalled. My phone is encrypted and I see another review mention that might be where he got glitches. I hate blaming a normal feature built in to android for causing issues with a big name security program. I don’t really know what caused the problems, but they went away when I removed the Kaspersky software.

Maybe some year, people will really care about phone antivirus. But they don’t now. So as a computer tech who would tell you you’re an idiot for running a windows computer without malicious software protection, I would also tell most that I don’t think they need virus protection for their phone. I don’t think it’s worth the slight phone slowdown and possibility of glitches from a unneeded security program!
