Since McAfee was acquired by Intel and increasingly prominent name Intel Security begins to wear, there is a great deal of money made available for the software security company. Unfortunately a lot of money also goes to the for installing security software on smartphones, tablets and PCs. The editorial is hardly new device more passes without bloatware McAfee. Also read: Is antivirus now still necessary
Unfortunately, right? one antivirus app on Android Devices also further unnecessary. Security on Android is to install different antivirus tools as we are accustomed to Windows. Unless you regularly and uncontrolled apps outside the Google Play Store to install, you are better off without this app. Time to remove McAfee, for better battery life and faster Android. The same applies also when the security apps Lookout, AVG, Avast! 360 Security or encounter any other antivirus maker on your Android
Normal mode
.
the conventional way to get rid of McAfee works happily in most cases. Go to the Settings , select Apps and All Apps . In the list that appears you looking for the antivirusapp and choose this. Then select Disable (or Delete ) and the app will not charge more if you harass your system.
this method is simple. and, in principle, sufficient. But when you turn the app remains available on your phone, in case you have him on again. sometimes it also sometimes happens that an app can not be turned off, the button is gray. In such cases, you should aggressively proceed by first rooting your device (in fact, this means that you obtain administrator privileges). Then you can freeze the security app with the app Titanium Backup root (which does the same as disabling) or even better. Completely sway your system
Galaxy S6 and S7
the Samsung Galaxy S6 is McAfee some sneakier ingrained. Instead of a private app is in this case built into the app Smart Manager, which in addition to an app scanner that unnecessary cleaning tools on board and a memory booster that makes the system unstable right. The worst thing is that this Smart Manager may not remove or disable as you thus have nothing to. Initially we were relieved when we saw the Galaxy S7 first got hands, Smart Booster was installed, but the McAfee appscanner was absent. Unfortunately McAfee shouted a few days later that they you unsolicited come to be your expensive S7.
Fortunately, you can also intervene to deactivate the Smart Manager. For this you have to package Disabler Pro purchase from the Play Store (€ 1.80). Package Disabler Pro works without root access and can not just disable Smart Manager, but also all the other bloatware included on Samsung devices. With the apps SD Maid and Greenify you can then keep your store clean and keep background processes in tone, so you have to replace the other Smart Manager functions in a better way.
How indeed secure?
of course you stabbing your head in the sand when it comes to security for your Android device. An antivirus app may well be superfluous, always be critical to the permissions apps questions. A flashlight does not need access to your address book for example or location. Grant apps not just root access or access to system components and device administrators. Finally, install it to your apps from the Play Store only guess, since these apps are scanned and monitored by Google. To make sure that you do not install strange you comments, ratings, and of course the permissions a bit run on.
The major threat to Android Devices are not the apps, but the fact that you have a mobile device loses easily. Therefore, make sure that you have enabled Android Device Manager, so you can easily find back your device and remotely controlled. Wait here obviously not join until you actually lost your device! Ensure also that your device is locked with a password or PIN and you have a recent backup. Your photos can be eg automatically backup with Google Photos. A VPN connection is useful to protect your data traffic from unwanted prying eyes.
