Since when has asking permission to install been protection.
You know damn well that if you start to install an application you will just OK any requests without even reading most of them. I cannot imagine most users even understanding the questions never mind appreciating the consequences of their answers.!! |

trainman261, I agree with you. I've decided to ditch the antivirus app on my phone for good, and I don't see any big difference. However, I've decided to change a lot of settings and disable 'unknown sources', 'USB debugging', and re-enabled the 'scan device for security threats' and 'improve harmful app detection' options.
I went as far as trying to install an APK from a known badware site and the installation was blocked by Android. That was good enough for me, no more sideloading.

Also, there is no protection against ignorance - not even an AV can protect you against that. I just can't help but think of this: Quote:
