I will let you know that there is not a lot of love around here for adfree (at least there weren't in the Hero forums. This is how devs make their money and eliminating them is akin to you taking something the devs gifted you for free and slapping them in the face with it.
That said, I don't know the answer to your question since (as you can tell from the previous paragraph) I have never used it.

U made me feel bad that's true .

Had it with my Droid x and didn't slow it down any. Personaly ads should never have been aloud. It ruins the whole experience. I'm all for having a mobile experience adfree. If devs don't like people blocking ads make free version limited vs full with ads. Otherwise deal with it.
I'll add I'm not a cheap skate. I've got many paid apps. It's just I REALLY hate Ads. I don't install any games with ads except fly dragon. To good to pass up.

I think adfree only edits your hosts file; so, as long as adfree isn't running it won't slow down the phone.

After you have add free up and running you can kill the app via app mamger. Also add free shouldn't effect the speed of your phone. Keep an eye on the apps that are running.

Would it kill you to spend a dollar or two to support the small, independent developers whose livelihood depends on sales of their applications? I'm not talking about giant software packages that costs hundreds of dollars. Just $1 applications for asdf's sake.

I think he's talking about free alternatives to paid apps not necessarily pirating apps. Pirating apps is illegal on xda.
But yes, angry birds is free and a paid version (no ads) will be available later.
@niko: it does.. it shows the power of the vibrants gpu power. This section consists of general apps too.

Who's running an anti-virus app?

How many people are using a anti- virus software and why?
Sent from my infected TB using XDA App
I don't. I also haven't used an anti-virus program on my computer in years. 95% of viruses are caused by stupid users, and the other 5% are fairly obvious when they hit you. Why slow down my computer/phone for the tiny probability that it might actually provide some benefit?
I use Lookout. Not just for malware protection, I use it for the device locater, too.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Anti-virus on the phone is pointless IMO. If you get a virus on your phone you either don't know what you are doing, or you are downloading paid apps from the internet that have viruses in them, and installing them on your phone.
I use LookOut because i won a years premium subscription from AndroidCentral. It does slow my TB down a bit, but mostly when i install new apps.
It's not a windows phone people! It does not get viruses.
Sent from my rooted Thunderbolt with VirusROM AirborneTB. Xda premium
I use Lookout also!
Lookout seems to be the best in my testing (least amount of battery use), and it is a smart idea to use an antivirus app.
Omg I got a virus the other day and it totally effed up my phone
Too bad I can't wipe the phone or anything.... Someone needs to make something for that....

Seriously people, anti-virus software is pointless on the phone. If you opened up that attachment in the email, from some guy in Nigeria that you don't know, you deserve to get a virus.

Best Android Antivirus

Just wanting to get an idea of the antivirus choice for everyone on there phone. Phone security in general i should say. Currently using Alyac just because it's free and haven't seen too many benefits of most out there.

Well, usually find cracked paid apps to test before buying. Kinda stopped doing that and just buying everything because apps are so cheap and will just support them.

I've used AVG. Works well doesn't slow phone down (didn't for me). But always gave me a false positive on superuser apk (chains one). So I stopped using them, as I don't really have a use. I find.common sense usually works best.

Yes. Great thing about it is that you can set up profiles for each program. It's a beautiful thing.

Personally I don't use mobile AntiVirus because I'm safe with my phone. Also an issue with some mobile AntiVirus is brought up in this interesting article by ChainsDD, creator of the Superuser app for those who don't know, found on his site here: http://androidsu.com/2011/06/a-word-about-superuser-and-security/

At this point any "antivirus" apps are completely useless tbh. HTC is usually very good about patching exploits and all of the known android malware either used exploits that were useless on our phones from day one or took advantage of people not paying attention to what permissions it used. The only other way to get access is for someone to use a zero day, which an antivirus wouldn't recognize anyways, or for them to make an app that asks for SU access and then does whatever it wants once you give it that.
Not to mention without SU the antivirus app itself will be extremely limited in what information it can find about other apps and no power whatsoever to block a rogue app that would have SU. All the malware would have to do is close the antivirus and it couldn't do a thing about it.

I never thought about that. Now that's a good reason I would accept instead of the usual templates given.
Is there an AntiVirus program that requires SU?
The same AV I use on my desktop, common sense.
Yeah and sometimes the anti virus screws up your phone too

Ya Antivirus on your android phone is a useless application and only eats up crucial resources. like Haus said, without su permissions its not gonna do anything and even if you were rooted, it could just close the antivirus and go forward. Only paranoid or the uninformed use one.

Lucky Patcher question

It's an app used for warez or rather pirating other apps. So more than likely yes. And the discussion of that app and apps like that here is not cool.

As per my experience it does slow down the device for reasons unknown. I'd recommend not using it and actually buying the apps. That way you also help the developers in giving them the recognition they deserve:victory:.

I don't want to judge, but if you say you support the developers and buy apps, but you removes ad's from, I'm assuming free apps, then are you really supporting the dev? They get paid by the apps.

I agree, but I disagree with using the app but blocking the ads. Most people don't want to work for free nor should they have to. So, in my humble but correct opinion, suffer with the ads or buy the full version. It's not fair to the dev to use his work without paying something. Now, ads in paid apps, block to your heart's content. Just my two cents.

If the Dev's did not put intrusive ad's, Huge ad's or push ads to my phone then I would not have a problem with that but they do.
the game Homerun battle gives you one ad just before you enter a game it is neither intrusive, huge or does it push ads to my phone.
Talkatone has add that take up 3/4 of the screen they are so intrusive its ridiculous.
And if I am correct dont the dev's only get paid if I click on the ad? if so I never click on them so it would not matter if I take them out or not.
I haven't had any permission alerts about it from LBE Privacy Guard, so I assume it's at least somewhat safe on that front. I've used it once to remove license checks, but it wasn't really worth the hassle and I figured I might as well just buy the apps and support the devs.
If you use it to block ads, then I'd recommend using Adfree instead. Since Lucky Patcher isn't an official Play Store app, so I don't really trust it too much.

Kaspersky. I use it in my PC and I trust it the same way with my mobile phone. It's a paid app in the Play Store but I found out that this one is free for S3 users if you download in via Samsung Apps :good:
Its really not needed, the worst that could happen is a little spam....antivirus just slows down your phone and uses far too much ram....
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
And it would probably slow the phone down unnecessarily.....
hum I don't think that AV's slow down the smartphones, security is very important, unless you don't use your phone on the internet i think you must have an AV installed, we never know some apps from the market are malware, I recommend avast mobile security, I use it since the first day and is pretty nice and don't consume many resources is very very tiny when running and scan all apps from the store that you install. very nice and its FREE
No need for anti virus, unless you like a slow phone... And IF anyone in the history of cellphones were to get a virus, wipe that $hit and reinstall, simple...

With no AV, how would you know if you had a virus that is sending back your keystrokes to the creator?
You would not know you had one and need to wipe.
I wouldn't say it's a necessity, and but it nice to have an extra layer of protection. If an AV slows down the S3, then there's something seriously wrong with the S3.
I certainly didn't say s3 as the title states "android phone" but I reload os's once or twice a day so... Figured a lot of others out here in xda land probably do the same... My favorite anti-virus...

It's not necessarily a necessity but I always have one installed, because it's bad enough, when I get a virus on Windows, where I store some of my private data, but I definitely don't want any of that stuff on my phone.
Personally, I prefer to use Avast! Anti Virus. It has a blocker, an anti theft module (Root and No root) and it's completely free.
I guess it's relative, which is best. Everyone has their own needs. I need to block unknown/ hidden numbers and also keep my phone anti-thefted (That's a word I just made up)
And of course I like free apps, with regular updates/patches where I can be sure, my phone is in good hands
Here is the link, if you're interested
Have fun finding the right app, for you!
i've nerver had a virus and i don't know anyone who had it
