[QUOTE="RejZoR, post: 861242, member: 57233"] Some are such low impact, scan only on install and on-demand they are not really taxing on the phone or battery. People think they scan constantly like on PC and that it'll slow down and drain phone battery. But that's not true. I removed it on Xiaomi which got built in antivirus with MIUI 10 which works the same and it's already built in. If you like trying apps, I'd use one. If you're only using official stuff from big companies like Facebook, Google and stuff, then maybe not, even though I consider them like malware lol [/QUOTE]
