Can a phone install more than one Antivirus?

Spottykay

Please i want to install two antivirus for my phone to be secured but is it good to do so on any phone especially symbian and i hope it won't harm the phone.

Mr Paul

Its not advisable installing more than one AVS on your phone; there can be conflict between the two AVS's and this can slow down the system of your phone/computer.
If its PC, one avs and one firewall is ok.
If you're not satisfied with the one installed, it's better you unstall it and download/install another one.

Sir-Phil

I don't think its gonna have much effect on your phone though, its worth a trial.

I tried it on my symbian,i first had netqin antivirus i mean which i was using before then tried to install kaspersky and my phone said make sure no other antivirus is installed and netqin is installed but i proceed after make sure no antivirus is installed but after the phone switched off/on itself for like two times then netqin notified there's a virus and netqin switched of the phone and on then it came to normal so i'll keep on with netqin then

Mr Paul

I've told you the truth; I think you have sensed something from what l told you then.
You need to ask yourself this question:
Why was a notification that you should make sure no any other antivirus is installed?
There would be conflict between the two AVS's.
It's safe to install only one antivirus if you want accurate operation of your AVS.

Sir-Phil

Maybe thats the reason why Blackberry phones are not always advisable to use antivirus. The antivirus turns to a virus of its own

Mr Paul

It was even said that atimes, we dont need antivirus if we can maintain good operation of our devices; except some few devices which cannot stand alone without installing AVS;and that is just because of their sensitivity to virus.

Sir-Phil

I 've only tried installing Avast on my system once, but I never got to use it

Mr Paul

Avast was even one of the best as at 2015.

Sir-Phil

I think Smadav has an edge

Mr Paul

hmmmm, Smadav? l dont think so.

Sir-Phil

Avast to me is outdated. A good number of people are turning to Smadav

Mr Paul

Ok, you have a say on that.
You are talking.

Spottykay

Smadav Is Not Really Sharp In This But I Think Of Kaspersky Cause Smadav Is Much Good In Usb Antivirus And It Really Don't Detect Viruses But It Depends On How You Use Your System Because Antivirus Detects A Virus It's Capable Of And My Brother Uses Smadav And Mc-afee

Mr Paul

It depends on your brower or system.
Spottykay, only start the word that starts your sentence and proper noun with capital letters, but start other words with small letters.

Spottykay

That was because of the phone I used yesterday,it does that automatically

Sir-Phil

I see some improvement in your recent posts. Keep it up!

Mr Paul

Ok, @Spottykay, I understand you; l can see that your posts are differently ok now.

Spottykay

But Hope You're not gonna say it's getting different for now

Mr Paul

Its practically proved.

Spottykay

You mean it's getting bad

Mr Paul

No, I mean it's getting better and I can see the improvement.
You are now getting those rules.

Spottykay

Alright understood

Mr Paul

I'm glad you do.

Spottykay

Mr Paul

You're Welcome.
