I don’t think any of these streaming apps actually have viruses I think the cleaning scanning apps are flawed. I could be wrong but I have never used any of these cleaning apps in 10 years of streaming and never had an issue
You may very well be right. But, I have dozens of options for streaming. No need to chance those that come back “Red”. It was clean a couple days ago. Go figure. I may scan it again in couple days.

Unfortunately unless you know what to look for you won’t even know that malware/adware/spyware has been implanted into your code. Troy posted a notice about this very thing. Traffic monetizer. It gets into your system and all it does is steal a very small amount of your bandwidth and I doubt many here would even notice. So yes scans are good and can be helpful as often you wouldn’t know unless you use one. Like everything in this hobby the quality of the scanning app or company is important. Now when you get that red notice you would need to copy them down and do an online search for what they are. Some of Troy’s apps return the odd warning because some code or ID info has been removed and if you write down and search you will see it’s harmless.

I’m much too lazy to lookup 25 red warnings. I’ll just uninstall and move on to the next app.

I just tried installing on both my ONN and Sony Google TV … they both install but neither open. They just freeze. When I try sportsfire… the TV goes blank, like it shut off and It just stays there. Mobflix Stremio and other apps work perfectly fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated or if theres an add on or better app to stream live basic cable or sports, I’d appreciate it.
