should i use ANTIvirus and ANTI malware?
on my PC i have kaspersky and Malware bytes
should i have something similar on my android phone?
This should not be necessary as long as you don't use any files from unknown sources. For example only use the market to install applications, only copy files from your pc to your phone (they will be scanned on your pc), and as usual be careful for attachments in your mailbox. Check where they come from and if you receive "sexy girls.bat" from anyone (even a friend) don't open it...
You can always connect phone in mass storage mode and run kaspersky on the two memory cards .

cheers
both good bits of advice
- stuff from good sources a great idea ---sexy girls.bat
-also the scan with kaspersky was a great idea
What about antibanner. since my new update every frickin flash banner is annoying me. I'm sure they weren't there before
Is there a banner blocker for android?

I'm resurrecting this thread since I read the article on here about dodgy virus market apps
I couldn't find it again to post it.
But do I need a security program on my phone
if so whats good or are there any free ones?
cheers
i use 'MyLookout' its a free app (also a paid version) and everytime something new is put onto the phone, MyLookout will automatically scan it for malware, its a really good app.
also another advantage of this app, is you can do backups to the cloud.
And another thing. If your device was to go missing, you can simply log on to the website MyLookout.com from your PC or another Phone, there you can switch on GPS, track the Phone down, perform a full wipe, lock the device, Sound an alarm on the phone which cannot be turned off.
and the best feature, is you can select an option so the app will not uninstall, so the thief who took your phone, cannot uninstall the app. Meaning you can always keep tracking it down
you can do all this from any PC / Mobile
Dr Web antivirus light is nice too

No just don't install sketchy apps.
Then again I don't use AV on my PC's either...it has proven useless in the past as it doesn't keep up with the attackers quickly enough. These days I go with a 'perimeter defense', keep the hostile code from running on the machine in the first place rather than running every damn thing and counting on some program to be current enough to save me.
Kaspersky Mobile Security is the best
Though i'm not using it right now.
I use lookout and find it excellent, though as others rightly say your phone is not nearly as vulnerable as your pc and by following common sense behaviour you should be totally fine. Give lookout a try as it includes lost phone detection and wiping too.

Why should I care about malware when I flash the phone every two weeks!!
(sometimes less time)
I don't, because I want to maintain maximum performance and battery life. Plus I'm not sure how effective any of the products are.
I must say though, I am a lot more careful about reading permissions and installing untested apps these days, after reading about the droid-dream malware etc.
nipip: lol true, same here
What about NetQin
Galaxy S XWJVB
And where to get kaspersky from? its not in the market
Galaxy S XWJVB
I use Lookout and have been very happy with it. Sure it may be a placebo at this moment. But as smartphones become the net access tool of choice for more people, malware will get worse as time goes by.
Plus I feel those people who say they can avoid trouble on their phones and even PCs by just not downloading "dodgy" code are massively underestimating the asshats out there and the ways that harmful code can be hidden. If you open a PDF or even a website, you ARE vulnerable.

This is a cool app. I like the ability to have the temp in your top bar.
Cool. Thanks for the link.
Unfortunately, it keeps locking up my Tilt....
I'm suspicious of Weather Bug. I remember a few years back, this app would sneak in on my desktop and was a pain to remove it. Seems like it was part of some spy/ad ware.
Very nice...thank you. I loved weatherbug back in the day before subscription, I hope it stays free this time.

I have to agree with you on that... LOL I wouldn't even install weather bug on your device if I didn't like you. It's spyware and you should avoid it. Why not try weather to go or weather watcher mobile?
After testing for a few days I ended up uninstalling it. For some reason it seemed to drain my battery faster.
I'll just settle for my Throttlelauncher weather now, after flashing Throttle Diamond.
Weatherbug is draining your battery because it is known to constantly connect not only to get weather updates but to also perform its adware\spyware functions. I would stay away from it. Once installed it is very hard to get rid of.
WeatherBug pwns you all..

Such FUD.
Weatherbug for the PC desktop, the free version, certainly does contain adware.
But this is a Today Screen Plugin folks. What adware is going to run on a today screen plugin on a mobile phone? Spyware? Spying what for crying out loud?
And to remove it, go to remove programs, and poof, it's gone, as gone as any other today plugin.
And if it's draining the batter, try going into options and changing the update frequency so it's not banging away at your data connection all the time. Any weather app will drain the battery if it's updating frequently enough.
gwnorth pwnz you all now too.
sorry I just had to use that pic. Just look at that cat, omg I can't stop laughing.

gwnorth is correct, no problems whatsoever uninstalling the program. Yes, the pc version was a little difficult to uninstall back in the day.

The program was connecting to the internet each time I woke the phone from sleep mode. It wasn't a phenomenal amount of battery drain but it was noticeable to me.
We obviously have a difference of opinion about the PPC version. The one thing we all do seem to agree on is the PC version was somewhat nefarious. Based on the history you should be skeptical of the newest PPC version. Weatherbug is not to be trusted, in my opinion. But you are free to add whatever you want to your PPC. I am not as confident as you are that it is completely removed.

Anyone know how weatherbug gets the temp to display on the taskbar ?
I like the severe weather alerts (too many damn tornadoes in Kentucky), and I'm not aware of any other weather apps that will sound an alarm if severe weather is inbound. If others can be made to do this I would like to try them out. Its not that I dislike weatherbug, I've just been using it for years.

All of my bookmarks have been erased by the 4.2 update! Is there anything I can do to get them back? I am talking about the local bookmarks.
Actually, the update erased everything related to my browser: bookmarks, saved passwords, search options etc.
Chrome Browser?
Did you get OTA update or did you do something to get it?
Stock browser. OTA, just popped out of nowhere (didn't even know 4.2 was out until it showed) and I thought "why not"? Well that answers why not. I do have a backup of the bookmarks but it's over 2 months old and many are missing, probably lost forever unless someone here has any ideas on how to get them back. The missing bookmarks were the result of many hours of web searches I did at some point researching a topic and I'd really hate to think of all that wasted time. I never imagined an update would erase my bookmarks, it never happened with previous ones.
(I could never figure in titanium backup how to do scheduled backups of the bookmarks only and nothing else)
If you visit each & every site that you had bookmarked you'll find that you can tap on the star in the address bar & bookmark them all over again.

Do you happen to have the same Book Marks on your Phone or maybe your Computer. Do you use Chrome Browser on your Computer... If not i recommend it. It as well other desktop / phone browsers will give you the option to sync them across devices.. I LOVE This feature.
Now as far it being a near end of earth catastrophe About loosing book marks. It has happened to me in the past. I just had to search for the sites i use again. I also found i had way more book mark sites then i actually use.
I think this is what the above comment meant about . Just go back to the sites and Re add them.. Some of the Inter-webs and company links are not so easy and i do feel for you for loosing them..
Good Luck.. Chrome will not get them back but could prevent this in the future..

I don't use chrome. I have tried hard to like it, and failed. It is counterintuitive for me.
Like I said, those bookmarks were the result of many hours of research (product availability for a narrow niche market, very hard to find). I didn't have them anywhere else. I guess I will have to waste more hours to find them again.
Anyway, the 4.2 update gets a big thumbs down from me.

For future reference, there are are apps in the play store that will back up your bookmarks.
I've lost plenty of bookmarks myself over the years. Until I started backing them up with
A third party app.

Like I said, I use Titanium Backup and it does a good job at it, but I haven't figured out how to make it regularly backup my bookmarks only. I don't want to do a full system backup on a daily basis. I backup the bookmarks manually, but I have to remember doing that. The last time I remembered was on Sept 29th.
Another app I tried, Bookmark Sort&Backup has the nasty habit of reversing the order of my bookmarks every time I start it. (yeah I know, just run it twice) It has no automation built in it either, so all operations have to be done manually. Comes down to memory again.
That would be something nice to see in titanium... The closest you can get is to schedule
A backup for modified data. But it backs up all modified data, not individual apps.
(Pro version)
(Edit) Just realized that TB does backup individual apps with modified
Data on a schedule... If you create a filter for just that app.
I use chrome and all my bookmarks are still there. However on one game it cleared my history of winning games. No big deal.

Edit: I upgraded to 23.3.24 and it no longer connects to my Mac!!!
But this works http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-ultra/general/root-kingroot-4-4-4-su-6-7-t3117552
100% WORKING without root!! For data apps & app data! Seems the latest 1.1.4.0 update may have overcome many issues on our phone-contrary to the Wiki notice about Moto incompatibility.
Seems it is not ready for Lollipop w/o root, see best comment, below.
The Ultra reviews are stellar while the Moto X are not so.
I am in the middle of a 2 Hr +, 138 data apps including their data, Google drive upload.
My Maxx: 444, 21.11.12, premium version:1.1.4.0. I have a Mac, OS x Lion, though once connected w/usb debugging, a computer is not needed until the next reboot.
Why is tethering needed? From the 1st reddit link:
[–]JonnyShipsXperia Z3 D6616, TM-USA 11 points 17 days ago
The program is necessary. There's a bug that he's exploited with adb backup so that if you enter adb shell from a computer you can run adb backup from an arbitrary app.
I'm surprised Google hasn't closed it yet.
Wow! I uninstalled a few lesser used apps after the long BU. They restored great, data too.:good::good::good:. They show up in G Drive with a check box just as in the app.
Did a PC download BU to my Mac via Chrome. All good-1.2 MB/sec!!
When doing a Chrome portal restore, you must choose to restore all or nothing. Choose browse button, select your backup.zip, wait for ALL apps to show up!--which I tested & works fine-3 app test restore.
While the Google drive/other cloud options allow "any or all", which is much better.:good::good:
Notes:
I thought portrait display mode was needed to see the buttons at bottom. Not so, a swipe up reveiles them.
Edit: It is fickle about showing them in landscape.
Check automation in Helium settings.
I do not use any encryption.
DropBox goes the same as Google Drive.
There were 7 apps that bombed out in the first UL. Helium earmarked them for a retry & they all went ok!!
For unencrypted cloud: Do not override the encryption key entry, pre-restore (or backup), screen! If you force the right selection with your finger the restore bombs out! Lol! Just let it go & the right (restore my data) is auto selected.

Seriously, scan throught the rest of the comments here for hate against the developer rather than the app - I'm sure they will hat it works, let alone even TRY it.
If you want an honest and more reliable opinion, scan through the google play reviews, or even reviews made by reliable android websites. Sure there are people too that have problems getting it to work (and some of the others are giving bad reviews for things that isn't even Heliums fault), and Koush isn't really known for a good support I give you that. But judging from reviews it seems as the majority got it to work. So much for that exception to the rule, eh?
Also Helium isn't anything more than a simple GUI to Googles own ADB backup and yes it IS sometimes unrealiable (and always was from my experience), so there is nothing about that Helium could fix.
From my test right now it does indeed seem to NOT work on Android 5.0/Lollipop (without root atleast), so I won't get my hopes up for the future of the app... unless for some reason Koushik will really maintain the app

Damn!
No longer works on 23.3.24, the chrome / Helium app will not communicate with each other.
This is the information I have gathered on KingRoot (for Windows). Please note that this is information gained by using a network monitor and the software was not reversed engineered or decompiled in any way. I am not responsible for how you use this information or any opinion you may form of this software. Lastly I am not responsible for any files downloaded or links followed from this information! Sorry, had to cover myself from slander and those who don't know what they could be getting in to
It appears to be a server side style of app. The app you install either on your phone or pc is simply the gateway to the server and the app knows how to communicate with the server. All functionality appears to be controlled server side, it should (theoretically) not matter what version of the app you are using. The Windows app for this will install the latest android version on your phone, if you do not have it installed already. It actually installs the KingRoot app but also another app named "KrHelper4Pc". This could be the stuff listed in the links and information below, I do not know for fact. The windows app is also in Chinese (I assume). However, they have an unhelpful English page that tells you how to root with the Chinese (I assume) all over it! https://kingroot.net/root-installation-via-windows-pc/
Here are some links that were found having communication:
1. http://103.7.29.26/download.sj.qq.com/qpmgr/AndroidDeviceV6.zip?mkey=58692fabc55ab7b0&f=105&c=0&p=.zip
- This is weird, it downloads a zip file but can not be opened or extracted. I know sometimes .apk files can show as .zip files, so I changed the extension to .apk and moved to my phone sdcard. Can not parse the package...no idea what this file is or how it works! You can open the zip file with wordpad and see a bunch of garbled text though.

Again, this is purely information I have gathered on the use of KingRoot, take it as you wish or as you interpret it. It may (or have) work but there seems to be a lot of other traffic going on, I can not really say if it is necessarily good or bad but I would at least call it "possibly suspicious". The reason I say possibly suspicious is the fact that most "hack tools" are actually not nefarious or do not have bad intentions. They are listed this way to dissuade people from using them. If it shows as a virus, most people will not install or use the program thinking they will get infected when the app is truly not a virus or malicious.
How do I know?
Well, I cant guarantee that any software or app is safe if I did not code it. Back in the day, I used to hack the old Yahoo Messenger login protocol. By doing so, I could create bot programs that could spam, send boot codes to knock them offline and even clone other users. As you can guess, Yahoo did not like this. Yahoo then worked with anti virus companies to get programs like mine listed as a virus to dissuade people from installing them. When this happened, my inbox exploded with people screaming and cussing at me. None of my software is malicious, I would not do that. I ended up releasing my source code to prove it was safe.
Anyways, long story short...for tools like these, it is actually hard to prove if they are malicious, even if a website says so.

Well, that "zip" definitely isn't a zip ... if you look at any real zip in a text editor, the first 2 characters in the header are "PK".
(I think that's where "apk" comes from ... "Android PK).
The file is clearly data that the application decrypts.
I installed the program in Sandboxie & will poke around a little when I have time.
It might be slow going since it's all in Chinese.
There was a suggestion that I was a little overly concerned by the "intrusive" nature of Kingroot ... ha! We'll see ...
Following this for sure
Hello friends!
Many of you are faced with the problem of fast battery drain. One way to improve the situation is to disable or remove unnecessary applications (like bloatware) that are running in the background. Now you have a great opportunity to do it with the help of the wonderful ADB AppControl and my list of over 100 applications that can be safely disabled.

Download ADB AppControl, load this preset and disable apps. You can always enable any applications if you need them.
This preset may not have many regional apps, so please create and share your own presets. This is very easy to do when you learn how to use the program.
Hum...this is safe?

Yes, completely safe. But this list may include apps you are using, such as Samsung Account or Galaxy Store, and if you disable them, they stop working. This is not a problem, just enable them.

Yes, I am an ADB AppControl developer and have been developing this program since May 2020. My goal is to make working with ADB simple and accessible to everyone. This is my first time on xda. I have a website and a topic on the forum where thousands of people are already using my program. Galaxy Note10 lite is my main smartphone, I use it in development. And this preset includes applications that are disabled for me.
Small clarification, It is when I installed "ACBridge" that I had this alert and it's a shame, given my concerns about autonomy, this program might have been able to help me.
Thanks for the clarification. This is a false positive for your antivirus. You can use the program without installing ACBridge and apply my preset, but you will lose some of the really cool functions (no application icons and names). In the future, I plan to place ACBridge in the Play Market, but this will require some work and costs.
And I have a little request for everyone. If you have used ADB AppControl, please leave feedback in the program topic. It's important for me. Thank you.
To be sure that I could use it safely, I asked Bitdefender to analyze the program.
If it can help you
I will say it again - there are no viruses in the program. It works with devices via adb and this may be perceived by antiviruses as a potentially security risk. This is called a false positive. You've already launched the program and your computer hasn't grown horns, have you?
Hello
Finally I did not wait for Bitdefender's response, I hope my battery drain concerns will be resolved.
Edit: So that there are no doubts in the discussions, I prefer to give Bitdefender's answer, the application is healthy.
Hey OP, gonna give a try to your software. What are the top apps to disable to improve the battery life?

Hello

I have disabled all applications from this preset. In my opinion, the life from one charge has increased. I charge my note10 lite once every 2 days and have up to 8 hours of screen.
@Cyber.Cat
After reading the few posts I want to add that the app works like a charm, I am very satisfied because of its easyness.
As said there is no virus inside, antivir apps -if so - report false positive. On my side no antivirus warning with avast.
And the perfect thing is: you can use it on any adb capable device. Excellent masterpiece.
Thanks a lot to the dev.
Exceptional piece of software that saves loads of time - loads. Been modding for days & used this to freeze 170 processes on my new s21 Ultra. Worth every penny!
Finally, I found and got rid of the Software Update application (com.wssyncmldm) that keeps sending system update messages insistently. I do not need an update, because each new one destroys the device's performance.
