One hit from clicking the wrong link can be irreversibly devastating if handled incorrectly. It pays to get good protection, what with our PCs containing so much personal data. Dodgy pop-up ads, process injections, phishing emails, and malware are waiting to pounce under the guise of trustworthy-looking sites. The antiviruses of today are much less of a strain on your system than they once were, at least the best antiviruses we've tested and listed here are.Ĭyberattacks are constantly evolving, and the best antivirus will be able to keep up with the onslaught. That way, only if something disastrous is happening will they make themselves known-like a loyal, well-trained guard dog. That said, most of today's top antivirus suites will keep out of the way with the help of 'gaming mode' or something to that effect. I know that sounds harsh, but there's really not much any antivirus can do if you actively install malware onto your machine thinking it's Half-Life 3. Ultimately, it falls on your own common sense to not be clicking on dodgy links or downloading strange packages. I don’t have location on and looking at the data usage of maps is something like 40kb, which it’s used around that every month since I’ve had the tablet, and this is a recent thing so it doesn’t seem to be doing anything weird.Alright, there are some other antiviruses that do the job too, but we really do recommend you enable Windows Defender and occasionally scan with an anti-malware software, like Malwarebytes. What could it be? How can I fix…I can only disable maps it seems and not uninstall it.

The scan took a minute (last was 10!) but.there’s still been 3 maps app installations in the space of 10 minutes. I did a clean anyway with SD maid, restarted and run the scan again. Google account shows no access from anything or anywhere but me. I haven’t downloaded any apps for months, use a VPN and the only site I use is Reddit, and no I don’t click links.

I scanned with Norton but it found no problems. I just did a scan on my android tablet and it was slower than usual, in fact it has been slower since Samsungs last update, when the results came it shows new installations and there was maps flooding the screen with installs 100s of times over the last few days.
