security questin

I'll be direct and brief
I GOT McAfee with my mobile phone so my question is : can mcafee work with some other antivirus program like avast or avg without any problem?
If you have some security tips for me that would be great ( I am new lg user and I am not that much familiar with current standards of antivirus and other security programs )

You don't need any antivirus with Android. Just be careful what you install. Only install from the Play store or maybe Amazon or other reputable sources. Do not enable 'Unknown sources' in Security settings unless absolutely necessary. Disable again as soon as installation of software is complete.

Install Common Sense and leave it running at all times.

Android since v1.0. Linux user since 2001.

Yes you can use any AV app together, I was using about 3-4 of them, each had different features I liked.
As for just trusting the play store, you will be in for a rude awakening because viruses still get passed them.
Always use a AV app with your phone, better to be notified than to just believe nothing will happen.

I noticed you have had some good posts on Antivirus. I'm new to Android, and just bought a Samsung Tab S. I want to also do some banking and payments. I downloaded avast, I just have the free version right now, but I like the idea of paid version so I can lock apps. I will only download from Samsung or Play Store, but I still worry as I'm inexperienced in Android. Think the 15 bucks is worth it?

No, you can get the same protection if not better for free.
