Acer Liquid E2 duo - avast!

Hello out there,

here some question to the frequent user.

1) do you consider avast! a recommendable antivirus app ?

I get a popup message from it, saying that malware is found in the apps:

"News&Weather" v3.0.6978 and Google Play Store are said to contain Trojans. Further, under avast! malware info, it lists Chrome and Google-Search as affected by 'unwanted programs' PUP.

Wouldn't that more likely indicate that avast! is mistaken and better be disinstalled ? As it isn't part of the preinstalled apps anyway.

Suggestion of another, probably more reliable, app appreciated.

2) how comes that my camera gets activated - every other time i pull the smarty out of my jeans front pocket- probably pressing unintentionally power on/off and/or volume button:

just a thought - I am aware that with the cam app already active - the volume button can be (un/intentionally) be pressed to take a picture. But then, the cam app shouldn't get activated unintentionally in the first place, while extracting the phone from the pocket, right?

Can there be done something to resolve the nuisance - disable something to avoid this behaviour?

-3) I'd like to set a shortcut (Windows desktop terminology) in form of a app like icon on the homescreen. To be able to go right to a specific directory, file or webpage.

Can we, how to?

Recommendations, experiences welcome!

Personally i never used an antivirus on every android version, since 1.5 but i also never downloaded cracked or untrusted applications from the web.

about the camera problem i don't why has this behaviour.

about folder shortcuts, you can do it, downloading from Google play a file manager called "ES strongs file"

Hello,

I downloaded the avast! app from Google Play Store, disinstalled it after the said messages popped up. Woudn't know about any untrusted or cracked apps on the phone - Google News & Weather ? Google Play has a app called "Ol File Manager" which too seems to be nice for the purpose, thanks for tipps.

Sometimes antiviruses gave false positives, don't worry about acer apps and downloaded apps from google play.

If you need a file manager, a really good one is ES strong file explorer
