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.

It really infuriates me that today's phones are becoming the target of malware / spyware as bad as PC's. Before long we will be seeing fake anti virus alerts and everything else now common on desktops & laptops. If I were able to develop software, the last thing I would do is put crap like that in my software for a few cents revenue. /ENDRANT

Technically, if anything, it's akin to adware. But technically it's legit. I am all for in app ads, but to spam me with crap when I'm not even using the app is too much. Adding to that, there are even more ads in the game. I recommend that before uninstalling that you rate the app 1 star and leave a short review stating this app uses airpush to put garbage in your notification bar.
Thanks for that idea, I'm going to start doing that, I rate apps occasionally.

Thanks, had this popping up with a green plus sign in my status bar. Removing "Android System Tools" the ads have seemed to stop.
I had this problem and asked here as well.
I found out it happens when I run in combo; Adfree and then run "Bloat Freezer Free"

If you are talking about the original Bloat Freezer by Trey Holland, then you are being duped, FYI.
Bloat Freezer has data forwarding to ad sites built into its framework. That's why it was yanked from Google Market. There is an imitator app with the same name now on Play, but look at the comments and you'll see that Trey is still pushing his apps.
Here is an XDA thread where I show this to be true, backed by other users.
Here is androidunderground article attesting the same thing
Edit: And I just now saw that you specified "Bloat Freezer Free" which is indeed the offending app. Get rid of it ASAP and find another way to freeze. Titanium Backup does it (although not as well, last I checked. That is what makes it so irritating. The app was well engineered and didn't need the underhanded theft to justify its existence).

Its not samsung apps lol
those are just to set up your email/on line accounts
the ones with the star and "youve just won.." are apps from the market
or if you downloaded a "paid app" for free it could of been modified to push air ads

You really think samsung is gonna release phones with air push ads???
c'mon use logic
the notification icons you are getting is to set up samsung acounts and online services with them..... dont call them ads people actually use those services
you could turn them off if youd like

Ok so all the ads i see pop up are samsung. Ha. You have no idea what u are talking about. The very first day i got the phone all stock apps were installed and i got the ads that night. When i uninstalled samsung apps and featured app it stopped and i havent gotten any. A few weeks later i installed them and what do u know....i got the ads. Little green plus sign and orange and red star. I know my phone and how to use it so idk where u get off saying i dont know what im talking about.

Then to help the rest of the community out, why not run Addons Detector and let us know which Samsung app is giving the airpush ads? Seems nobody else has mentioned it that I know of except you. That would also settle the argument. A screenshot would say it all.

How am i supposed to do that. I have the airpush detector but it has no apps in it. Doesnt register anything. Had one the other day but say what the source was. Was getting them 4 to 5 times a week when the samsung and featured app was installed. Took it off and havent had anything. You dont have to believe me and u sure as hell dont need to run your mouth thinking you know everything. I was voicing my experiance.

Blackberry sems to be the only one with a reliable + official Facebook app from my experience.
And that phone is for dinosaurs.
Neither my iPod Touch 4 or EVO gets them consistently.
The facebook app is an embarrassment to that company. I truly can't believe they havent done something about it. Google+ has one of the best looking and functioning mobile apps I have personally ever used, fb should take notes.

The FB app sucked on the OG EVO. It's not the phone. It's ridiculous that a website of that stature has such a crappy app.
I agree, the app is so slow I usually just give up before the content is fully loaded and turn on my computer haha.
Slow as hell on my One X aswell, almost bought an s3 in a rage
You would figure for a multi billion dollar company they could do a simple app. It worked way better before they added everything. I normally go through the browser anyways. I don't need up to date notifications but if you did why not turn on text notification? I mean you get unlimited texts anyways.

Funny you mention that. I haven't noticed any ads on the mobile version and I figure they just use our data as "payment". Overall I kind of want to ween off of Facebook. I feel they sold out just at the right time.

Ww need a new social network. Every dog has it's day, and maybe Facebook has had theirs? Although it should be a network defined by it's users, not controlled by profit and exposure.
FYI, the facebook app for Blackberry is actually made by RIM, but with facebook's support. That's why it doesn't suck as bad.
Also, facebook's app on iOS (both iPhones and iPads) suck. Countless mistakes and bugs and they never update it either. I usually just end up using the mobile web version of it.
They have no real mobile strategy. That's why the stock is crapping out. If they had a plan to make $$$ off a mobile platform they might care about its quality and ability to draw customers for advertisers.

At least with Sense's Friendstream, Facebook at least seems functional (to a degree).
Google+ is great, just none of my friends are on it lol, but it does things Facebook wish it could do. I love the messenger on G+. While trying to use Facebook's, snail mail may be a more effective use of time lol.

I'm using Avast & it save me from a couple of infected apps that i recently download that had Trojan,spyware & adware that app was tubemate & a Dbz wallpaper which was promptly pulled & Avast is also good on battery & doesn't affect the phone resource that much,it also have a feature that monitors how much ram/cpu all apps are using.
And if you got root,you can convert Avast into a system app which will enable it to be Hard Reset proof which helps with phone recovery using Avast anti theft feature.

I also have Avast to locate my phone in the event it's lost/stolen, and it also has a virus scanner built in to it. I don't think the virus scanner is really necessary, but icing on the cake, right?
