Is ANTI-VIRUS compatible with iodeOS?

I’m not fully familiar with the iodeOS
Hopefully there will be no complication if we will install ANTI-VIRUS with it..

For instance, it was state that
Graphene OS should not install an ANTI-VIRUS. for it will have a complication to the OS of Graphene

Not sure on iodeOS

Hello Robert,

I’m not an ‘expert’ and haven’t gotten my Braxphone yet with iodeOS, so I’m not sure if it will give you problems, but in general you don’t want to use any anti-virus software.

Installing an anti-virus software is giving a free-pass to your device. I haven’t used anti-virus software on any of my devices in the last 15 years or so.

So my advise is to NOT install any anti-virus software. I believe Rob also made a video about this a couple years ago.

Agreed, Android “anti-virus” software is, itself, spyware. It isn’t going to provide any real benefits and it will drain your battery; not to mention giving access to your device to the organization who created the AV software package.
