avast has the highest detection rates and is free!
also has free security built in for free which includes remote, wipe, locate , call the phone to listen in etc
if you want a security app which has every bell and whistle get cerbrus it is a few pounds but well worth it, you get pictures sent from the front camera of failed unlock attempts etc etc
hope this helps :good:

Helps prevent malware if your downloading apps from outside or even sometimes in play store
And security wise if someone stole your phone if you can track it down accurate to 20 metres

Avg is horrible in my opinion and certainly on pc let viruses in like opening time at the pub
Avg is slow avast is light and nippy most of the time doesn't even show up in ram and never shows up as a battery drain not even 1petcent

Appreciate all the quick replies! Will check out Avast for now.
Anyone got opinions on the one in this article I came across yesterday? (aside from Avast, of course! :silly

I've had this phone for just under a week. I'm rooted, but running stock. Is Google Services supposed to be using this much battery (more than the screen)? The screen had 2 hours and 44 minutes.
Thanks for any assistance!

My Android System uses #1. I guess they are glitches. Samsung Link was using #2 until I disabled it.

I noticed the same thing the first couple of days I had the phone and then it stopped. Possible uploading backups to google?
I never had the issue just like many of you dont see this Android System taking up all the cpu. I wonder if that's caused by me having my GPS on and set to show my location at all times so my close friends can locate me.

So guys.. was just curious .... do you or do you not have antivirus protection on your s4 or android in general. .......
Put AVG free on it. I probably don't need it but its like a condom, I'd rather have it and not need it than to need it and not have it...
Verizon includes a security app.

Nope. Never had on any android device and have never faced any problems. A little common sense is all you need
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
You don't really need an anti-virus running if you're sensible. If you do want one, sign into the Samsung App Store, and you'll find that AVG Pro is free for Samsung users.
I always use an anti-virus, the best free is the Avast one according to tests, I now use Kaspersky Paid as i get it free from my bank.
Though in many years of using an anti-virus on android phones i have not found a virus on my phone so are they really necessary.

Mine has started doing this too. After a reboot and at random times. Lookout doesn't report any malware and all my apps are from play store. It's annoying more than anything else. It's a useless prompt as it does that say which process was closed.

Has anyone deleted Knox to see what happens other than a warranty void? I'm having the same issues when unload any titanium backup apps. It could be just one app I load up and I get this message. But if I get the app from the note 3 itself it doesn't prompt.

Maybe, I was thinking of something along those lines, but maybe triggered by something the phone does. It happens when I am away from my home router sometimes, possibly driving through the range of another WiFi router, even if I haven't tried to connect.
I'll try to watch for that to happen when I go out today.

So I'm going to start one !?
What setup is everyone using and does anyone have advice in how to get the best performance / battery life balance?

Performance is good but I think it could be improved.

Fine i repeat u can use greenify and delete apps u dont use set ur cpu frequency lower if u turn off screen.
Theres also an app which can also save alot of battery. When screen is off ur data will be always on unless u deakivated it. So it enables every 15min or whatever time u set ur data to get notifications etc. So that save battery. Performance is controlled by governor.
It is only up to you whether u need lag free scolling or more battery.

What does this do that the Google built in device manager doesn't? I thought you could track, wipe, and sound an alert with what's built in to android. Why do I want this (sincerely asking)?

Read up on the features it can do so much more like taking screenshots or activating back or front camera if someone has stolen ur phone you can even activate wifi or location through sms so IMHO far better than android device manager

android manager only works when your account is in use. Consider your phone is stolen and you used a wipe. Now your account information is removed and Google device manager is now useless.
There are lot of differences. I use avast anti theft rooted. My phone was stolen and I was able to track it, control it and eventually got it back after 4 weeks.
What you can do with this app which adm can't
Use sms commands to control your phone
Block Uninstall manager and/or settings page remotely
Whenever a new sim card is inserted you will be notified. This is most useful feature.
Force data and gps connection remotely. The other user can't turn it off.
In my personal opinion, you can't prevent theft.. If you lock down your phone (what you can do in adm) after that, the thief knows there is something wrong, and he may flash new firmware. But these app allow to silently track the phone which gives more power to locate the phone.

Definitely this is a very very useful app, hope the thief doesn't know the loop holes.
