-download from trusted sites.
-install apps from playstore only.
-abstain from sharing snd receiving files through Bluetooth/wifi, if you must send and receive apps, do it through WhatsApp using this trick http://www.droidpost.com/2016/08/how-to-send-share-apps-through-whatsapp.html
- don't access too many porn sites, some of them are baits.
- abstain from using funny apps like those that promise you internet without internet connection.
-and a lot more....

infact use your phone like an iOS user; be stingy and also don't receive, for that is the reason why iOS seems to be secure.

hope I was helpful

I u chrome for d regular sites. But then, I use ucbrowser for any other site. UC browser is better adapted to block those sites that will attempt to trick or force you to download malicious/unwanted apps.

Here's the issue; sometimes we tend to download from different sites without caution and it thus infects our phones, when our phone is infected; several unwanted apps are installed, phone hangs, it links you to ponographic contents and most annoying part, it zaps it data. To disinfect and prevent such from happening, I discover an app called "stubborn Trojan killer" it's a life saver. Just download and scan(make sure u have internet connection for cloud scan" the app removes and blocks unnecessary app activities on it device.


Thank me later.
