I'm new to Android and I am wondering if you all plan to put some sort of antivirus program on your Xoom? Is this needed? If so, which programs are the best?
Thanks!

Don't think there are any viruses for Android.

Yes there are Viruses on Android. Most recently they were able to penetrate the actual Google marketplace. Before that most were found on third party sites which are not recommended to get apps from anyways. Most people dont use an anti virus but I believe this will change unless Google does something to prevent any other viruses from entering the market.
Lookout is a antivirus app that can found in the market. It is from a reputable company in the US. The app will scan your apps and compare to a database of known threats(free version is sufficient). While before the recent events I didnt worry about it either I now use Lookout. Something is better than nothing. But the best defense is common sense. Dont download from third party sites and always check the permissions an app is requesting before installing. A wallpaper app doesnt need access to every part of your phone. If it is asking for excessive permissions try to find another app that completes the same task with less permissions. Hope this helped.
I use lookout on my xoom. It just doesn't do the whole locate thing (a great feature) unless you have cellular service (which I do not) because it uses SMS for that feature

Thanks Droidz,
So it sounds like if I am cautious about which apps I download I should be alright. I tend to only download apps that have been downloaded by a large number of people with good reviews. Hopefully that will keep me safe. But I'll try out Lookout too.

As long as you're not downloading shady apps (esp ones from outside of market) you'll be fine. Antivirus is really not necessary.
Hello,
My new nexus 7 doesn't want to install most apps that are .apk
I had the .apk's from my htc evo 3d and the also worked on the samsung galaxy tab 2...

-photoshop touch
-gangstar rio
-many more
-some like temple run 2 and edge ex work...
Running stock rom.
Tried installing the older version of flash because i read that should work..no it doesnt.
Thanks
Why aren't you installing these from the Play Store (minus Flash)?

It's just a personal preference because its easier to install all apps when I have them all in one folder, rather then always searching for them on the play store.
Got used to it because I had my phone a lot of time on service, and it was frustrating to always install everything again and again.

The ones that aren't installing are paid for apps bud, how'd you get them then? Too coincidental that the paid apps won't install, but the free ones will...
If you paid for them from the Play Store, you can hit the little magnifying glass and type in the first 3-4 letters, and it'll find the app right away, takes seconds to do. You can also log into your Google account and search/install that way.
If you got these apps without paying for them, you won't find help here for that.

I dont wanna search for all of them. Because I don't have a list in my head for which apps do I use.
I asked for help. I BOUGHT The tab. I bought most of the apps. Yes not all of them. What else do you want?
I didn't get any help, just atacks on WHY did I do it this way and not the other way. My grandma doesn't use the walking sticks even if her life would be better with them. It's a personal preference It doesn't matter why she wont use the sticks even if I cut off her legs.
If I'll ask what are those 4 gold dots on the side of the tab, I wanna know what. Not explain to you why would I use them and why not!
Now please, can we get to the point of the question?

Wow, so you don't want to just TRY going to the Play Store to install one of these paid for apps to see (called troubleshooting) if it'll install? Google keeps a list of everything you installed, Settings - My Apps - swipe over to All, there's your list.
I know you bought the tablet, no one questioned that. You are asking how to install an app that you have to pay for but you got it via another means (pirated app), and it won't install...again, you won't find help for that here. You're getting asked questions which helps with trying to figure out the root of the problem, and your grandma reference is just disturbing and irrelevant.
Paid for apps don't get installed in /system like system apps are, so the question is relevant.
So here's your answer: Go to the Play Store, search for ONE of the paid apps you are having trouble installing, and TRY installing it from there. Oh yeah, and in Android 4.2 there is more built in security for pirated app detection, so like I've said before, if they are apps that cost money and you didn't purchase each of those apps, you won't be able to install them.

Thanks. That's all that I needed.
Furthermore, have you enabled "Unknown Sources" in Settings to sideload apps like you are trying to do? If not, that could be your problem as well. It could also be the the version of the apps you are trying to sideload are old and aren't supported in Android 4.x, hence the suggestion to try installing from the Play Store.
With Android 4.2 sideloaded apps are scanned, please review: this. It gives you information about what you are trying to do, and the "why" aspect of it.
So before you fly off the handle again with odd no-legged grandma references, try the above mention suggestions to see what happens. Are you rooted, or is your N7 stock?

Well U might be right about the apps being not 4.2 supported. Because some of them are old.
I'm not rooted, just stock.
Some apps are not compatible with certain devices.
It doesn't matter whether a user paid for them or not. They paid for the app. and it installed on the device they had at the time, and it worked. Nowhere is it written, that a dev has to support any devices a person buys in the future.
The app dev's, have no obligation to program the app to work on everybody;s devices, regardless whether you paid for it or not. This is the nature of programming development.
Nowhere is it said that if you buy a new device, the app you purchased last year is compatible. If somebody can prove me wrong, please tell me.
Yes, you may be able to sideload the app. Another way is to make a build.prop edit to make it compatible. This is OK, and you are welcome to do so.
What is not acceptable, is to ask for paid apk's or discuss anything related to software piracy. This is against XDA rules, and also, against the law in most countries.

Hi,
When i used firefox this morning, avast warned me about a malware... I removed and installed again firefox, but there is still the malware. After a scan, avast is showing me about 20 apps and files infected... Is it some kind of false positive, or is it a real malware ? I don't know what to do... Thanks for help

Its avast problem. I'm on S3 and Avast just showed me 30 malwares "Android:FakeInst-EY"
Avast Blog has this post, I suppose this is related to this:
Block fake apps
avast! Free Mobile Security blocks fake apps and our new signature targeting protects you against
malware distributed with them. Our popular anti-virus/anti-theft app for Android stops downloads of fake apps and games, so you won’t be duped.
“All of these apps use multiple advert services, steal your personal data and they even are hidden under different creators. But don’t worry. Avast detects all of the mentioned applications as Android:FakeInst-DL, and urls of fake searchers are blocked also,” said Chytrý.

Having the same issue. Avast posting that gmail is a trojan, which seems unlikely.
Looks like avast is really messing this one up this time!
Getting Android:FakeInst-EY [Trj] on WhatsApp, Ingress, Norton Utilities (lol), + a couple others as well
Thanks for confirming my suspicions, I didn't really want to wipe my device
Just to add, this happened to me this morning as well. 8 apps infected including Gmail. It seems this is on Avast.
Thanks everyone ! I have it on gmail too, and on Ingress. I checked with Lookout, and nothing bad happened ! Avast, u suck...

It's look like an avast! problem. You need refresh the virus definition to 20130321-01.

Hi everyone,
it seems that this false positive detection somehow got through our systems to everyone. I'm sorry for that. Don't worry though, there should be a virus definitions update soon that will remove this detection. I'm going to reroute all topics to this one and lock them so everyone knows what's happening. I'll post here when the update is out so everyone can do a manual update of their definitions to fix this (or you can, of course, wait for the automatic update to happen, but manual will most probably be faster in this case).

Happening to myself and my wife. Same malware identified in multiple applications (Google Gmail, Amazon Kindle)
Yup, same here. Avast reporting Gmail & Firefox as malware.
Same issue. Whatsapp and avocado are reported. Seems something wrong with avast. Considering to uninstall it

From the avast forum link:
"the latest update should be version 130320-01. In case of user apps, you can run apps scan which should clear the detections. In case of system apps, running the apps should clear the detections (that applies for user apps as well, but it should be faster to just run the apps scan)."
I just went into avast and updated the app to 130320-01. It took a few times hitting the update button before it actually updated avast, but it finally did. Afterwards, I ran a virus scan on all my apps, and it came back clean. Problem solved.

The thing I find curious is I updated Gmail on both my phone & tablet at the same time. Phone update went fine with no detection. Tablet popped up the FakeInst:EY detection during Gmail install so thought maybe definition file wasn't up to date (or EVO3D had a newer def file). But both devices are running v130321-01 which is supposed to have the fix (?).
Rescanning both devices, EVO3D comes up clean but tablet now detects 4 apps w/malware! Have tried updating but says this is the latest version out there. As said, will wait for the next update after 130321-01 and see if it clears. Just odd that have two devices with same versions of Gmail & Avast (and updates/defs) and two different results!
Update: No new updates to avast, but reran scans a second time on both a second time 5 minutes later and this time both came up clean. How can that be? I guess most importantly, both are clear again though worries me when one "detects" (even w/false positive) while other doesn't with what appears to be same environment!
I got the same warning today for a few apps, i had already deleted Firefox....
I just updated Avast as said in this treat and no warnings anymore Time to reinstall Firefox

Anyone else having problems with this after upgrading to Nougat? It was working fine before I upgraded, now it says it can't activate because I don't have a license. Except that I paid for it months ago. The developer seems to be absent, not responding to emails or feedback on the Play Store.

The developer needs to implement a license to be able to use
Knox abilities, if you understand what I mean..
generall all apps in main list of Setting > Apps are safe to disable
but in menu there is option for System Apps. don't disable them.

There are 2 different licenses that the developer can use, not you.
https://seap.samsung.com/program-overview
But I now think that it's not a licensing problem, but an update problem. Android N uses a new version of Knox, if that isn't implemented in the app, it won't work.
What's new https://seap.samsung.com/sdk/knox-standard-android
The dev finally replied, and said I need to upgrade to version 7.3 (from 7.0). But that's a completely new app in the Play Store, and Google wants to charge me for it. Hardly seems fair to pay a second time for the app I already paid for once. We'll see what the dev says, but this isn't the first time he's played games with changing the name of the app and putting it in the store as a new program, instead of an upgrade.

I am also using package disabler pro on S7 with N. I got the latest version from the store and it seems to do the job. But what I read from your post, they can just do this magic when they use Knox? Is this correct? Why is this? When you first start the app, you have to agree to KLMS which is part of knox.... Now I see in my running processes that I have Knox running in the background? I am not really sure if I like this. I bought this app to get rid of Samsung things like Knox?!??!
I contacted the developer but he refuses to give me a clear and satisfying answer.

Those apps use the Knox SDK(see Settings->Software Info for the sdk version) . This gives the developer the possibility to use some abilities that normally only system apps have, eg. Disable apps.
What apps need to run in the background to make that possible? I don't know.
Why would you want to get rid of Knox?

This explains a lot!
I wanted to get rid of Knox because I don't need it. Afaik, Knox is a security solution (developed by NSA) designed to create a secure area/container for data etc. It's is not my company phone and that's why I don't need it and want get rid of it.
I looks like I cannot have both, disable knox and the rest of the bloat..
Thank you very much.

About a month ago I randomly got a Final Fantasy app and a flashlight app installed. The only apps I installed that weren't from the play store were Amazon underground, the official pornhub app (for kicks), and a PSX emulator from a 3rd party website (would cost money in Play Store). That PSX emulator is what I suspect. I didn't like the UI and uninstalled it a week ago, yet today I see the same Final Fantasy and flashlight app installed again. I fear some type of trojan adware is stuck on my phone. How would I see what is installing these apps?
edit: it also installed a Solitaire app I forgot to mention
Try malwarebytes in the play store. Their PC version is solid. I have kaspersky for my android devices and it is very good. Gotta pay though! Third party sites won't work ; )
Ive heard of this before... I can't remember the name of the app doing it but some service providers include this somewhat hidden app that installs apps like this. The other case even included Final Fantasy. Look in the Apps settings panel (include system apps) and look for anything sketchy. I wish I could remember the name of it!

People make fun of antivirus apps. Saying they don't work and blah blah blah. I side load apps alot and I mean alot of apps. I use an antivirus for the anti theft and malware and I suggest you get avg ASAP if you plan on side loading apps. But that's in my opinion.
BTW can you share the pornhub app, I would like it for research purposes ?
You have Verizon to thank for this.
The app is called DT Ignite. Its crapware that installs apps when your phone sets up or randomly. Its a system app so make sure its the first thing you freeze.
I did notice that when I set up my phone recently when it updated it changed the name to "Mobile Services Manager" or something similar.

Thanks! I bought my phone off eBay unlocked from U.S. Cellular to use on Verizon, and I didn't think that'd be the culprit given the network change. I've disabled the app now.
