    LOL...I have had no issues with running 2 av's. I know it's not necessary, but what the hay as long as it doesn't slow things down I have no problem with it. Both are awesome.

    I see 3, and they're not the only things running in the background. That is unless you disabled Clean Master.

    What are your specs, especially CPU and RAM?

    Errr....we are not protecting our devices, we are having fun, lol. Virustotal should be enough if you don't do weird things, I guess.

    I'm now using ESET and Adblock Plus, but I have also tried Bitdefender, Trustgo and Malwarebytes. I kept ESET because its web filter is the only one that supports my Kindle's browser, Silk. Also, its detection ratings use to be great.

    I agree that the av part is in the cleaner itself, but one day the CM advised to install the stand alone AV. I see some additional security is there.

    Just the same for months - Clean Master: the cleaner itself and its AV.
    Sporadic cleaning and scanning with them.

    No security on my Android. No malware either. I had AVG pro, but decided that don't need it.
