[QUOTE="SohanRay, post: 1047887, member: 94632"] Are Antivirus apps in Android reliable? I mean , I have seen several times due to various reasons , when AV apps in android stops working on its own in the background or maybe a part/feature of it stops working. Many a times theres even no notification saying that some part/feature of the AV has stopped. This makes me question the reliability of these apps. Suddenly say the web protection feature stops working and doesn't notify even, and I accidentally visit a malicious link then my device can get compromised. Surprisingly I have never seen this happen in case of Windows PCs. AVs in it are completely reliable. But in Android's case seems different. Is this what everyone else feels?? [/QUOTE]
