Free Android Antivirus?
My cel Came with NQ Antivirus preinstalled. Can't find the way to get rid of it And it won't update it's may 2018 definitions unless i registrer And pay for a subscription.

Haven't felt the need for it but i don't see it with good eyes that the the app does not provide an uninstaller.
Won't pay for an unfinished product.

Thanks for your advise.

Palm
Settings - Apps

Scroll to the app, click the icon and there should be an uninstall button. If it's a system app and truly won't uninstall, there should at least be a "disable" option.

go to the app launcher & hold the app like you're going to move it. 'uninstall' will appear at the top.
The look/method will vary somewhat between android versions.

The App does not have an individual icon, it´s accessed thru the Phone Manager along other features like cleanup, etc.
Have looked for it in the Settings area, no joy.
Also went to the Google Store hoping if I looked it up I would find an uninstall button but only found the App to download and install from the original distributor...

Sounds like preloaded bloatware that will be hard to get rid of.

Found the process and disabled it.

What will be my next AV?
