 Question regarding smart phones.
I have malware/antivrus protection, or whatever you call it, installed on my Mac (at the suggestion of AppleCare), and on my Samsung tablet. Are cell phones just as susceptible to malware/viruses?

I was told to NEVER add anti-virus software to our LG phones. They told me that it could really mess things up.
(This advice came from our Verizon Rep.)

I have McAfee on my LG G6 and have had no problems at all with phone performance. The only time my phone gets wacky is when AT&T does an update.

The threat is increasing, especially if you download apps from other than trusted sources, follow unknown links in texts or emails, surf the web, and so forth. In my view, mobile security is becoming increasingly important, but if all you do is make and receive phone calls and texts the risk is significantly mitigated. I've used a variety of different security programs and currently use Bitdefender. It's now my favorite.

I've had an Android smartphone for years and have never had any such issues. I wouldn't worry about it.
