What antivirus apps you using for your Note 10+ ?

[Almeuit]

like???

Private Internet Access
NordVPN
Tunnelbear
ExpressVPN - Very good if not the best.. but the most expensive.

 

[Almeuit]

I use ExpressVPN as well... speeds are pretty decent. I also use the built in security stuff from VZW as well.

Ooo a Verizon VPN? That's terrifying.

I use NordVPN. It does slow down my connection speed at times, but it is a double encrypted connection.

It is only double encrypted if you choose a specific specialty double encrypted server. If you don't then it's not ..

I have malwarebytes and lookout, but only because they're free.

Do you use McAfee antivirus and NordVPN on your phone too? Or only on your computers? I wasn't sure by your writing.

Sorry I wasn't clear. I use McAfee and NordVPN on my Note 10+ and Samsung 10.1" Tablet (and my Windows PCs).

I don't use any antivirus at all never did and will never use it. My opinion is a waste, just saying.

Same here. I use in on my computer but not on my phone.

I'm liking what your just saying

 

[me just saying]

I don't use any. don't really see a need for it based on my usage. I keep the phone up-to-date, don't use third party stores, and watch where I go and what I do. I think all the apps are scanned as they are downloaded by google so what is there for me to worry about?

IMO, you see a lot of scare tactics used by companies that want you to use their security products. The thing is,technically speaking, it is not viruses you have to worry about, it is malware and those are two completely different issues.

Exactly. And malware has a tendency to sometimes squeak through Google's approval process. That's why I only download apps from well known developers, or through recommendations from others I trust.

On my Sprint SWAC plan, I get free Lookout Security Premium and it comes with a free VPN. It's pretty darn cool. When Sprint wasn't paying for it, I just used the regular Lookout Security. I worked fine. Have never had any issues with malware on any phone I've used.

Ooo a Verizon VPN? That's terrifying.

No I don't use the VZW VPN, just their security check app... scans the phone for issues or viruses... I strictly use Express VPN for that purpose alone.

Anything Verizon related to fixing anything on my phone is a no go for me.

I use ExpressVPN when on public wifi. Expensive but I think it's the best VPN out there.

Almeuit ...knows this stuff pretty well
So any advice he can offer , would listen .

For those of you using a VPN, are you using it to access public wifi? Or you always use a VPN regardless if at home network or public free wifi??

I use CyberGhost on every device I own. Even the TV. I use it it 24/7. If the cell or wireless connection fails or resets, it automatically kills the connection until it reestablished a new protected connection. This is my 4th year in a row with CyberGhost. I've only needed to contact support once.

On LTE I don't. On any WiFi I do.

I do on both. ISP tracking is eliminated, Period!
