You don't quite need an antivirus app on your phone, it drain the battery like crazy but that's my opinion.

I agree with uliwooly, I don't have an antivirus either, as long as you download apps from the playstore (or safe places for that matter) you shouldn't be too worried, when I suspect something might not be right on my cellphone I install Lookout , run it once just to see if everything is fine, and then uninstall it.

Are they those P.O.S. Cloned apps in the Play store that has the year on a banner in the icon? Literally copies of copies flooding the market with the same rocketship painted in a different colour and the window moved 5 pixels for variation? They're up there for my hate along with GO Launcher, Facebook, Ad Sense and Bit Torrent selling the same app with a different name for a higher price, Always Online DRM for Single Player Games, Internet Reviews, IGN and Kim Kardashian

I'm using Kaspersky Internet Security for Android. It's free antivirus with premium (paid) features. I have Premium version with full features.

PLUS:

1. It's really reliable, sturdy.

2. Don't stopping smartphone, working silence in background

3. Have a lot of needed features like: Block unwanted sms or calls, anti-thieft, protecting web browser and ect.

MINUS:

1. Premium features is paid

2. Can block Stamina mode, that's mean can drain really fast battery

FINDINGS: I think it's the best antivirus for PC/Android with full package tools with can help you to protect your device from milware, pushing, virus or get back if you lost your device or was stolen... You can block unwanted calls/sms, to hide sms or calls from others eyes and ect. So if you don't afraid to charge often your smartphone don't hesistate to install it. It's much better my opinion neither CM Antivirus and ect. I have Kaspersky a lot of time (much more than year or two) and never had pity Yes battery darining fast, but battery drain without Kaspersky fast too, so what is better to be protected or to have full battery with maybe a lot of milwares, virus and ect?

GOOD NEWS: If you don't want to waste your money without test, so i have good news for you - you can try 30 days full package without any expenses So you can try it for free 30 days and you will see how good is it

I disagree with you, antivirus draining battery the same as some apps or games, but to be protected it's important at these days - plus lost smartphone probability, virus and ect. I satisfied myself virus can be everythere. So to be protected is important Can you be sure always that your friends in Facebook will send you files without virus? Also i read that for Android already are created a lot of virus, smartphone at these days became like mini computer, so it's important to have antivirus That you don't have antivirus that's doesn't mean that you don't have virus

I had on PC F-Security, which detected files as crack and ect., but if this file was archived this antivirus did not removed it. So crack was activate and further So i installed Kaspersky which found all these cracks, removed it and ect. The same is with smartphone - i using Kaspersky on both my devices ESET is good antivirus too, i used it in past, but ESET is not so good as good is Kaspersky

I would suggest to use Avast antivirus for mobile. Its quite compatible with Xperia z5. I myself use it. It blocks most of the threats.

The same as on computer. If say true Avast my opinion is worse, i tried it on computer it's not look so reliable as Kaspersky If say true i don't trust in any Antivirus, except ESET and Kaspersky. Eset it's good, but not so good as Kaspersky, but if i need to choose without Kaspersky i choose - ESET

Yup, in my opinion, that's kaspersky, this is the best antivirus for your Z5

i have norton on mine...

does anyone else have norton and have you noticed any of the "wifi" issues mentioned on various threads on here with it?

i am trying to issolate anything other than nougat that could be making my phone a pig that it wasn't with marshmellow... i have removed all apps that "find" wifi (such as virgin media's customer wifi) and removed all the saved spots it produced... so the only saved wifi is now a couple of commercial places and my home network that were manually added....

but norton tries to upsell its vpn/safe wifi app and so lists all the "unsafe" ones i pass by... thus as it does "monitor" wifi i have it in my list of potential reasons why wifi since the android 7 upgrades have made my phone an unreliable unstable anoyance that i have never had with 4 xperias in a row before...

For some personal reason i choice at this moment AVG for Xperia antivirus, which was pre-installed in C5 Ultra Dual, when i bought it. But my opinion is not changed about antivirus apps - Kaspersky all world which intresting in IT know that is the best antivirus in the world. Avast i did not checked, so i don't know, but how much i read in some IT website and my personal opinion is not look so trust as Kaspersky, ESET or AVG. If say true, Kaspersky have ONLY one big problem which i regonized - killing Stamina mode and draining very, very, very fast battery. Developers from Kaspersky don't want to change that, coz they siad it's part of features - to work all the time with internet connection. What is reason of killing battery life

Anyway if will be need to post 4 best antivirus names i advise to choose these (mentioned is not from the best to bad, listed accidentally):

1. Kaspersky

2. Eset

3. Norton

4. AVG
