I’ve been an Avast user a long time, so when I got my tablet there was no question as to what anti-virus I would use. BUT why does it need all the permissions it requests ? It asks for way too much and if I disable some of them it will not run. So let me know what goes on so I don’t have to find a less obtrusive AV app.
Thanks
Jack
Hi, some new permissions are required because the Anti-Theft solution has been added into the Avast Mobile Security. Anti-Theft needs microphone and camera to be able to record the person who stole and uses your device. None of these features can be used, if you don’t enable them and authorize all future actions.
We are also preparing a complete list of permissions and what they are needed for, please check our FAQ on avast.com later.
