android does not need antivirus or malware programs. you just need to be wary of what you download or install on your device. i have never installed anything on my phone to this day. and i have owned android phones since its inception. if you want to install something than i recommend malwarebyte's 2024 Antivirus for Android | Android Trojan Protection. it is free on google play.

Android is higher up then windows could ever think of.
No need for one, just human idiot controls via our hands.
again you can try malwarebytes, if you like.
also if you do get malware, you will just have to un-install apps that you recently installed. and work your way backwards. deleting the app will get rid of most malware. finding the culprit is the hard part.

Don't be fooled by ad pop ups and such.
This is adware that you can control by installing an ad blocker, such as Adguard.
I've used it for years without any ads or intrusive pop ups using browsers and apps on my devices.

Install it, and it will ask permission to run a VPN.
Agree and let it do it's thing in the background.
