Need smart phone virus protection recommendations

+1 for avast.

 

However, if you don't just download retarded crap left and right and view porn constantly, you won't get a virus. I only have avast on my phone for the "locate my phone" feature it has in case it gets stolen. You really can't get a virus on an android unless you're an idiot. :P 

 

 

One of the main reasons I have it the others are the data tracker and permissions control it offers root users.

LOL funny you say that - I know of a couple people who got one downloading apps from the Play store.  There was one app in particular that got a few friends.  Trying to remember which one it was - sounded like it would be innocent though.

it's the anti-theft feature what catches my interest to get Avast for my android though i haven't rooted it yet, it would work?

i have second thoughts rooting this phone just because :mfp:

To get the best out of it you need to root the phone, you don't need a custom rom or a custom kernel just need it to have root access and that way you can set up avast anti theft and even if the new user, read thief tries to install a new rom the anti theft will survive the flash.
