Is antivirus a good idea for phones?

Just ask, and I can't find anything already validated by research, the use of an antivirus on these phones application. My husband and I were discussing whether or not we need to install an and if so, which. We know better than to open emails and especially attachments from unknown sources and do not download applications from unverified sources. Someone at - it advice on that?

Well, I think that my opinion is a little different. I don't really believe in anti-virus for Android. All applications are run in a sandbox, so they can't do any damage to the phone software. This does mean that apps can't do things that we don't want. If you do your homework on an application before installing and it has good reviews and a lot of downloads then chances are very high that it is a good software.

Applications antivirus really only check applications that you have installed against a list of known applications that are a problem. For peace of mind, you can install a. I personally don't have one and never have. The Android OS is not like Windows. Windows is inherently going to have viruses. Android/linux is a different beast altogether.

Another good rule is not to install apps that are not in the game store. You can, but you should be absolutely sure that you can trust the people or you have the application from source. It's really safer to do this simply do not. Apps on the Store of the game are set up so that Google can automatically uninstall them from your phone if they find a malicious. They have done this before and would again, I'm sure that, if needed.

If you feel more uncomfortable one then there isn't any reason for not having one. They also usually have other features in them that make them useful in other ways as well. It's all about your personal preferences and your own peace of mind. You have yourself to pleasure before everyone else. I hope this helps.

    If I get a new subscription, one is cancelled automatically, or do I have to do something else?

  • Restore my HP Pavilion laptop to factory settings it is a good idea?

    I recently accidentally changed my default settings of the police, I did everything I could, except for the restoration of my hard drive to its default settings. However, since I bought this computer a year ago, I noticed faster internet and less connection issues, as well as some other problems fixed. I'd be willing to sacrifice my default settings for performance, so I was wondering if it would be a good idea to restore my computer to its default settings. Also, I currently do not have records to back up my data, so I'll need to do the same. Another thing, my HP Advisor advised me not to restore my laptop unless I really need to.
    Yet one thing, lightning struck our House a few months ago. Unfortunately, I accidentally turned off my father the day before surge protector. Anyway, he destroyed all of our equipment to wireless internet, as well as the fan of my father. We then contacted AT & T and they sent us a few tricks, with phone, download order software online to make our internet work. I do not have these registered Web sites and I don't know how in the world I would like to reinstall that software. So, I was wondering if I drop everything this software if I did a factory restore.
    Thank you for your time and support, rlnachtigal

    I'm with your HP consultant. Restoring default values should be a last
    Resort. If you need assistance resetting your fonts, start another thread for
    which. I'm sure you will find the repair of fonts one relatively simple
    task, compared to the restoration of your PC.

  • Old Muse site (with different layers for phone and Tablet) converted to a sensitive site of Muse

    Hello

    I am very happy to see that the new sensitive version came.

    How can I switch my muse old sites on sensitive new version?

    Thank you very much in advance for your help!

    The new version of Muse, released last night adds support for sensitive sites (a provision that changes based on the width of the browser). Muse continues to support adaptive websites (different layouts for phone, Tablet, desktop computer).

    Convert a large site of adaptive to sensitive will be a significant amount of work.

    Before you try to convert an existing site to adaptive answering, I would say only to discover the new sensitive device by looking at a few tutorials and creation of a new sensitive site from scratch in order to have a good idea what is possible. Then you can decide if you want to convert an existing site.

  • A good software for tracking of swimming for the rings of the activity

    Hello

    I'm a happy user of my watch stainless steel 42. I use it for all my training and I get pretty obsessed by filling out the rings of the activity

    I do not swim a lot and I was wondering if anyone knows a good app on the watch that will add data from swimming to the rings?

    (I know that I can add the data to the application of health on my phone, but it does not count to complete the rings)

    Does anyone of you found a good app for that?

    Best regards

    Peter

    I just use the 'Other' activity to record my swimming activity. It will record the exercise even if I'm not wearing the watch.

  • I think switching from Windows XP to Windows 7, but it seems complicated. Is this a good idea?

    I want to get rid of my security Computer Associates software. It overload my system.

    I believe that a combination of Windows 7 and Microsoft Security Essentials and Web of Trust would do a good job.

    Switching from XP to Windows 7 seems complicated. Is this a good idea?

    I would appreciate any advice. I am a former novice

    Thank you

    Get rid of CA security software and do general maintenance on your system would probably go a long way to improve your computing experience.  See help! My computer is slow!

    Unless you plan to buy a new computer with Windows 7 pre-installed, make sure that your hardware is compatible with Windows 7 (for the most part, this means that Windows 7 drivers are available; problems are more likely to occur with older laptops).  Download and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

  • Cisco Wireless-N bridge for phone adapters firmware update problem

    Hello

    I have a bridge for phone adapters N of Cisco wireless. I decided to update the firmware on the device. I downloaded it from the official website of Cisco download page. So I've just connected to the device and started the update procedure. I waited for the right amount of time allowing the aircraft to install a new firmware.

    Now the wireless bridge will not start. Once powered up system LED will blink green for 15 seconds. Then it will become orange and flashes with a frequency higher than forever.

    I tried factory reset, but it does not work: same behavior remains.

    As a note - I have updated exactly same device with exactly same firmware just before I did this and it went good - firmware is not a reason for this behavior.

    Can anyone advice me on what I can do to give life to this device?

    Hi Nikolai,

    If the unit is still under warranty I suggest you to contact Small Business Support Center and open the ticket as most likely the replacement is necessary:

    "Broadband PLC" was the provision of access to internet via incoming food, not something that was very common or successful.

    Your proposal is entirely internal is so different, for example, they refer to it "are on the same range" as ADSL. HomePlug PowerLAN solutions do not have something like this beach as it is designed to work with a main inner ring.

    Yes, the technology is much improved and the standards are now closely identified. Most units also offer an encrypted mode that allows only of these units in a group sure talking to each other.

  • Free alternative IDE for development Playbook?

    Hello

    does anyone know any good alternative IDEs for development of Blackberry Playbook?

    I guess the requirements I'm looking for is the following:

    + Support ActionScript 3

    + Easy run to the device (via IP address)

    + Blackberry Playbook SDK support?

    Eclipse will not work because it lacks proper support for ActionScript - unless someone knows a good plugin - and Netbeans, well, does anyone know any good plugins that I kept on downloading plugins AS2?

    During my trial for Flash Builder Burrito is upward, I really want to pay the six hundred - correct me if I'm wrong - dollars.

    See this post studiochris ...

    FlashDevelop and BlackBerry PlayBook development: the basics

    for the discussion of the package FlashDevelop free & open source.

    I installed it just now and it seems real interesting and seems to be well supported.

    I will probably reconsider during my free trial of Flash Builder is in place.

    In addition, it was mentioned on webcasts that RIM planned costs of mitigation on Adobe tools for developers PlayBook, but there is no detail given in time.  I think it is total logic for them to do and there are several ways they could help out.

    For me that is not a question can I scratch a check for this or that piece of hardware, software or book - the question is where all this ends.  There's just an explosion of platforms and devices, and unless you already have a viable monetization strategy, it has the potential to be nothing more than an expensive hobby, and I already have expensive hobbies.

    IMO the economic reality is that underdog platforms will need to continue to the community of developers of seeds in order to get their stores built on app.

    RIM could probably do it in a way that is fair to all parties, for example:

    (1) work with Adobe to extend some trial licenses for active developers who submitted X number of apps in the last months of Y.

    2) don first corn cut from several hundred dollars to the RIM 30% from the sale to a developer for a license purchase.

    (3) just hard give a license to any developer showing a showcase app and/or a very popular app, be they free or paying.  Apps that show the platform and that users want it are probably well worth the wholesale price of a license.  Numbers of high download for a soft, free or paid, are the votes of users say they want more applications of this dev.

    and I don't know that some creative thinking could give more options that are fair to all parties.
