What is the best free antivirus software for Nokia E72 ?

When you link, go to a questionable web site with a mobile phone, the web site does not have access to local data, and cannot install some malicious application to your phone without your knowledge, either.



That is, unless there some exploitable browser vulnerability that allows something like that, but I haven't heard of any on any Nokia phone models.

 

What is the best free antivirus software for Nokia E72 ?

Hi Guys,



Can please anyone tell me, what is the best free antivirus solution for nokia E72. Does nokia E72 needs a antivirus software? Become, Im using a internet and connecting full-time to the internet using data package through my phone.

 

I personally use MalwareBytes (the free version) which you can download from here but have heard that AVG is good too (get from here). But if this is going to be used a lot as a work or home computer, I would spend the money for a good antivirus. I once got a One-Year subscription to Norton on 10 devices for only $10.

 

I use avira , live n die by it

 

The default Windows Defender unless you always visit shady sites, but for normal everyday use, it's all you need. I've relied on Microsoft's own AV since Windows 7 came out, and I admit I do visit some sites that may not be the best, but I've never once had any infections.

Currently I would pick Avast or 360 TSE (enable Bitdefender and optionaly slower Avira).

To secure your PC even more, use a custom DNS like Google, Norton or OpenDNS.

Just a side note. I was very fond of 360 TSE but I found out it didn't detect some "on the wild" viruses here on Spain (that WD detect and clean with no issues) and I see it has not been updated in a long time.

 

Yeah, 360 relies on cloud and heuristic mostly, that is why it is important to enable at least Bitdefender.

But it does pretty good on its own: Qihoo Total Security- a Mechanistic Protection Test - YouTube

As far as performance goes, 360 and Avast are also the lightest ones and virtually no conflicts.

 

I use BitDefender free plus Immunet, it's a good combination. See the review here:

BD Free lacks in self-protection, can cause memory leaks and even fails to uninstall properly, Windows will still detect it, than again, free version is not their beloved child, more like an orphan they have adopted. Forced registration is also not very appealing. But if you manage to get it running, it is fine AV.

 

I have used Comodo internet security in the past and never had issues with it , but have heard that windows 10 doesn't need any av protection so a little confused

 

If you add the word "additional", to your statement, to make it "Windows 10 does not need any additional AV", then that would match the thoughts of a lot of experienced users. with the improvements in recent router firewalls, and as long as you surf the net safely, and keep the built in Defender up to date,. then you should not have any serious issues with malware on Windows 10.

I am currently using Bitdefender Total Security 2017, because my work can sometimes take me following links that lead down some nasty rabbit holes *Wink

 

For a free protection I would recommend Windows Defender and common sense.

 

got it up and running on Thursday evening and so far so good. it did a scan today and didn't find anything
