So my workplace is mostly iPhone users and someone asked me what kind of antivirus software I used on my Android, and I said “none” and he flipped out about how unsafe it was. Other people chimed in saying how all androids need antivirus apps and I’ve never heard of such a thing. I do have ad-blockers and a VPN but never downloaded an antivirus. Should I? If so, what would you recommend? Thanks lemmings, love you.
Windows Defender is antivirus application, though, so how is it evidence that antivirus applications are pointless? Also, Defender wasn’t always as good as it is. That’s only a relatively recent thing.
Also, there are viruses/malware other than rootkits.
