It seems all apps from Divested were archived in December, particularly the antivirus app Hypatia. When you try to update the signature database, you get a 404 error, so I guess the development of this app is dead. Does anyone know of any alternatives or similar apps? Or is it not really necessary to have an antivirus like this on Android?
you generally don’t need an AV on android, unless you do really shady downloads. only download from fdroid, google play, github, apkmirror, and maybe some mod apk websites, the more known ones
The app was just updated on F-Droid, but the repository was forked. They are looking for maintainers: https://github.com/MaintainTeam/Hypatia
Not really needed on Android or in general. If all you want to know is whether your system is compromised, use Auditor by GOS.
This only exists when apps ban us from modifying source code, ban fixing, anti-libre software.
You definitely want antivirus on android. Unfortunately, I don’t see any FOSS alternatives to Hypatia. :(
Heh. FUD?
