• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.
Note: You are responsible for using this blog and its content. I am in no way liable for any losses caused by user error, viruses and/or other malware, hardware or software failure, or any other conceivable reason.

yeah,Prof Paul,it looks good on paper, but as we all know, the more bells&whistles an app has, the greater the probability the pick up& go of the OS will nosedive…such is life,eh?

dobbie606,
That can be particularly true with security products, you’re right. Which is why one of the things AV-TEST labs test for is “performance” – which translates into ‘impacts performance’ (see http://www.av-test.org/en/test-procedures/test-modules/performance/).
On an ancillary note.. I have not tried this app yet, but none of the Android AV/security products I have tried have had any impact on performance.. and they all have the full gamut of bells & whistles. (Lookout; Norton; DrWeb; AVG)
… “pickup&go”.. I like that expression.
