Can I install two related antivirus apps in my Android phone?
IMO any kind of digital device needs a protection, if that is exposed through networks. Android may be fool proof against viruses, but if you are into computer security field, you will know that there are plenty of Trojans and malicious applications that are waiting to take your device. Those days we call them Viruses and these days they are in different form. It is just manifestation of these malicious programs all these years.If you are going to use your device for personal purposes. Sure I would recommend using a nice security software. You do not need two Antivirus application. If you see the way the Antivirus engines are designed and developed, most of them cannot co-exist. Even if it does, it is going to consume lots of computing power and it's not required.

What will happen if I don't have antivirus installed on laptop?
For me Nothing !It totally depends upon your common sense of computer system and its working. I have not installed any antivirus installed in my laptop still there is no virus and malware in my system.You should ask why?major virus are entered in your system through removable drives, Internet downloading and from third party software.Every pen-drive or removable drive inset in my system I manually see the every file’s extension and if any thing seems suspicious I immediately delete it. and i also turn off auto play off in my system.I only downloads music, software etc. things from trusted sites only with IDM so there is no chance of virus enter in my system.third from the third party software for it i also use only trusted software and prefer to download from the official sites only.By this way taking care of minor things you can prevent your laptop from virus attack.otherwise what happens?Your laptop browser flood with the lots of Adware.System hangs and speed decrease.Your files are getting corrupted.Annoying pop ups.unwanted startup software lets your system startup time increase.

Do Android phones need antivirus or internet security apps?
Before answering your question, you must understand the basic architecture of the Android operating system. Viruses are the consequences of vulnerability of the system to protect itself from any external programs that work maliciously without the knowledge of user and/or system.Here is the basic architecture diagram of the Android:You will notice that all the programs are installed in userland area (uppermost layer) below which application framework is there.Fundamentally all Linux based distributions are immune to any viruses. Android has no exception. Android is just yet another Linux based mobile operating system.So, the answer to your question is NO! Android phones need not any antivirus. But that doesn’t mean that Android is safe from Malwares & Viruses, just the mechanism & propagation (spreading) of the intrusion of the Virus or any Malware is different than that of Windows.Viruses & Malwares come from user installed programs. They can not spread automatically like Windows Viruses. Here, end user is culprit, who confers user rights to such programs that may infect userland area of the applications.Precautions to be taken while installing any App from the store or USB:Don’t trust any application from Play store blindly. Please verify the developer of the app & it’s reputation. e.g. see image:Before installations, please check permission asked by the app. In any case if you feel this app may cause damage, malfunction and any other suspicious permission, do not install that app.(This app seeks permission to retrieve running apps & read sensitive log data. Do not install such applications.) By conferring such permissions you allow that malicious application to take your phone’s control, and you feel that your phone has been infected with the virus.DO NOT INSTALL ANY POPULAR ANTI-VIRUS (OFTEN FOUND AD ON TV) ON YOUR PHONE. SUCH ANTI-VIRUS GENERATES FAKE VIRUS REPORT AND CONVINCE USER THAT HOW IT WORKS PERFECTLY AND HOW WISE YOU ARE THAT YOU CHOSE TO INSTALL THIS ANTI-VIRUS.Also do not install such apps which displays malicious ads which tells that your phone has been infected and install so and so anti-virus. Do no trust on such ads and simple do not install such apps which shows such ads.
Big Mal-Ware problem, rkill can't install, I can't open any REAL anti virus programs, theres more...?
Okay, so I don't know how, but I got a malware called Vista Home Security. I have got malware twice before this, and removed it easily... But this time, I can't. Okay, so first off, The only two internet pages I have gotten on were Yahoo Answers and Google. I tried Youtube, some forums to help me out delete the malware, and the page I get says something like this: First it talks about why I can't access the page. Then under it gives me three links, on what I can do. The bottom one says "access the page (VERY DANGEROUS)" the other two are just BS about downloading the fake program. So I click the "Access This Page" link, and it just closes the browser. The second major issue is I can't open Malware Bytes, or AVG.... In fact, I don't think I can open any programs. So now I can't run a scan on Malware Bytes to remove the Malware. The worst thing is, and the third issues is this. So I did searching on Yahoo Answers, to download rkill. The link that automatically downloads it, without having to go to any other URL's. So I download it, and when I try to install it, it gives me this message "Windows cannot access that specific device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access this page" Well 1, I am the only user on the computer, and I am the admin. 2, I have downloaded rkill twice before... So what can I do? I really need help deleting this BS.
