If you are an android user, you might be having several questions about whether you should have antivirus on your phone or not. Many Apple users see android phone as virus-prone phones and do not like buying them for this very reason. However, this virus problem becomes a non-issue if you install a nice antivirus application on your phone. This way, you will be able to enjoy all the benefits of an android ecosystem and remain virus-free too.
There are plenty of antivirus applications out there but the one we recommend is AVG antivirus. This is a free antivirus for android and protects your phone from viruses and more. The Google Play Store is the main target for such viruses and malware. Google does not have a strong comprehensive policy and hackers make use of it put adware, Trojans, viruses and spy tools in their applications. Their applications send private user information back to the hacker which can be used for all sorts of bad things.
Fortunately, by installing AVG antivirus, you make your phone immune. The first thing you should do after installing of AVG app is full scan of the system. It supports scanning of both internal and external storage. This is important as sometimes there are applications that might have installed malware or virus in your system which could already be harming you or your phone’s performance. AVG will help you get rid of those and more.
AVG antivirus is more than antivirus. It has wifi scanning feature that alerts you if you are connecting to a network with poor security level. It also protects your phone from ARP poisoning where the hacker can redirect you to different URL and infect your phone. It runs in the background and scans the webpages and if it finds something harmful, it stops its activity and alerts you. Main web browser and Google Chrome are supported. It monitors the battery consumption in the background and can turn on power saving feature if the power levels go under specified level. For instance, you can make power saving turn on as soon as your phone hits 20 percent battery level.
Verdict – We love the fact it works on both android phones and tablets. It is optimized for both small and big screen devices. AVG antivirus is must have phone for all android users.

It is a mind bending fact that even the playstore is brimming with malware applications right now. In fact, few days back, a malware by the name of DroidDream has popped up which is said to have compromised personal data of users. It takes over the device and sends information back to its hacker putting your data at risk. So if you are an android user and paranoid about security of your phone, it is now time to get an antivirus app.
We installed and tested many antivirus applications and found the AVG antivirus to be most effective. This antivirus application doubles as antimalware and runs in the background at all times. Like a watchdog, it keeps an eye on the data that is downloaded on your phone. It ensures that no malware or virus is able to infect your phone and steal personal PIM and other information. It is a free mobile antivirusapplication and anyone can install it for free from the playstore.
After installing AVG antivirus on your phone, you should do a scan of your phone. You can tell it to do scan of both internal as well as external storage. This is also recommended as it will help find any malware or virus that could be there on your phone already.
AVG antivirus can run in the background without making the phone down. It monitors your web browsing sessions and ensures no malware website is able to install dangerous application or game on your phone. If it finds something dangerous, it immediately alerts and notifies you.
AVG antivirus is more than just an antivirus application. It keeps track of your mobile data usage and alerts you if you are going overboard. It also optimizes internal storage space. It does this by clearing the cache, cookies and unneeded site data that it downloads over the internet.
It comes with several other useful features such as device lock feature which can automatically lock your android phone or tablet if the SIM card is replaced. So even if the thief gets hold of your phone, you can be rest assured that the data and PIM information stored on it is safe.
Verdict – AVG Antivirus is the best antivirus application for android devices and must have for all users.
If you are recently started mining Zcash, you might be confused on how to convert Zcash to currency (eg, USD, EUR, INR etc) that you can use in daily life. We have made a small tutorial on how to do. First, let us assume you have bought some Zcash using fiat currency or you have set up a mining rig. For mining Zcash, Nvidia graphics cards work the best and even the people with the Nvidia Pascal based graphics cards can mine Zcash pretty easily. Just make sure that the room is not too hot. For instance, MSI Trident 3 Arctic Edition comes with Nvidia 1070 graphics card which is great for mining Zcash. The specs of MSI Trident 3 are bit overkill for sure in terms of specifications but if you already have one, you can underclock CPU and make some money.
Anyway, set up a wallet for Zcash. Jaxx.io is one Zcash wallet example. Then start mining Zcash using Nvidia or AMD and as said earlier going with Nvidia is suggested. The Zcash pool will be sending money to your wallet once the threshold crosses. I have set mine at 0.2 ZEC so that I always have some money to play around with.
Now make an account on localbitcoins.com and select your country. Then visit changelly.com and get ZEC Zcash converted to BTC and then send it to your localbitcoins’s bitcoin wallet. You will find plenty of options where you will find people who can give you money via paypal, cash or to your bank.
This might be complicated at the beginning, but those of us that are used to trading in Forex with different currencies is the most common thing. Also, each country indeed have different solutions.
If you are looking to install custom firmwares on your Samsung Galaxy J1 Ace, you will have to install a custom recovery – something like TWRP or CWM. This particular one is for the SM-J110H variant of Samsung Galaxy J1 Ace and after its installation, you will have to install all J1 Ace specific hacks and even root it with ease.
Here are the instructions on how to install TWRP custom recovery on the Samsung Galaxy J1 Ace SM-J110H variant.
1. Download and install Odin on your PC.
2. Once you have Odin installed, download the proper .tar file for your device from the download link above.
3. Power off your device. Turn on your device using the proper key combo to get into download mode and attach the device to your computer via a USB cable
4. Use the PDA tab or button to browse to and select the tar file that you downloaded and flash the device.
Keep in mind that modern Samsung devices come with a key combo in order to prevent users from entering into recovery. For that, you will have to type in fastboot reboot into ADB and then hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don’t follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.
