Android smart phone question

New smart phone user here. Is virus protection needed with a smart phone? If so any recommendations? Thanks, John

  • I never ran antivirus on any of our Androids.

    Just be somewhat careful about what you get from Google Play.
    Try not to go app crazy...it's hard I know.
    Just watch app reviews and recommends from those who have gone before.

    Also if you really want to dive in join XDA developers and find your phone for inside info.
  • I use AVAST Mobile Security. It is a free version. There are several free security apps.
