[Pretigalie]

Good morning, kindly let me know what antivirus software is most compatible and user friendly not to mention free.....for the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium phone!

I currently used CM Security and Clean Master on my Sony Xperia Z2......looking forward for your views.

Thanks.

I have ESET and Malwarebytes for when I go torrenting, but they wont Pick up PC threats, but the PC Versions can detect Android threats

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...

Oh gosh well I cant say I know what you speak off....I am still using avast atm....seems to be good for now so I dont want to trouble it to put something else.

Thanks for your comments though!

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
