Re: Security on an Android tablet
I have now installed my Tablet and I noticed something called Knox which I believe is Samsung's equivalent of Windows Defender. I know that 1 + 1 = 0 when it comes to internet security as the software would clash and make both stop functioning.
A friend helped me set it up and he suggested that Knox would not work unless I registered and obtained a Samsung account, something I'm reluctant to do. Is this true?

Re: Security on an Android tablet
If you have a Samsung device you'd normally set up a Samsung account as part of setting the device up.
I'm sure know is just on by default. Android its self usually has a security of its own also.

Re: Security on an Android tablet
The Knox version 3.10 on my Samsung Galaxy A53 was working before I registered a Samsung account.
This could be because of it being a phone and Knox was already installed with details already showing in the Phone's Settings/phone/software information page when the phone arrived.

Re: Security on an Android tablet
I think know is integrated into Samsungs android versions currently as it show when the phone is booting up.
When it first came out back on much earlier Galaxy devices is was more of a program that you chose to enable, but think they made it a deeper OS level protection layer, securing all your data and protecting the device.
