ZeePriest's Mobile Configuration 2020

[ZeePriest]

Here's my mobile configuration. No one uses my phone except me and I always check to make sure that it's secured and functioning properly. I use samsung's built-in phone cleaner and I scan it from time to time with Kaspersky Internet Security. I also restart it every couple of days or when I feel that it needs a restart

Quick question, whats the need for three VPN's?

Doesn't Samsung have its own built-in security by McAfee?
Is there still a need for another AV like Kaspersky Internet Security in this case?

It use McAfee as build-in antivirus.

Good question... I use windscribe and thunder VPN mostly for torrent downloads, so if I ran out of GBs on one VPN I will still have another VPN to use as they are both free and give limited quotas. I use protonVPN free for normal browsing.

It has! but I have deactivated it and installed Kaspersky Internet Security instead to feel more safe because I download a lot of files from different websites and I need something to protect me more than just the built-in antivirus.

It use McAfee as build-in antivirus.

But is it as good as KIS? Does it offer the same level of protection?

having an antivirus in an android phone is close to irrelevant unless you do not have an ad blocker (non rooted phones users can look at DNS66 or Blockada v3) or if the browser has a built in ad blocker (brave browser) or you can even load up ublock origin (Kiwi Browser), and you constantly visit cracked apps and install cracked apps into your phone.

Edit: One suggestion: look into Greenify. even not rooted, this program works very well.

I will look into it... Thanks for the suggestion

Update: I had to format my phone so I edited my security config.
