Nox Security

Is Nox Security any good? I'm wondering because I'm trying to get rid of some apps on the Blu phone to make it run better. If I should keep it, I will.

It is built in my Samsung Tablet, and it works pretty well and protects you from all those wireless stealers down to your cell, I have tested my tablet with several wifi throughout a billion processes too even traveling through the country of USA a lot, too, and maximized the utilazions of a million apps downloaded.

Even when you have your device shut off completely it protects it even when the machine's are closed up.

Knox is the security on Samsung phones and tablets, it's baked into the firmware and hardware.

Was your Blu phone made by Samsung?

blu and samsung are separate manufacturuers. knox is exclusive to only samsung devices. and it is tied to samsung's OneUI as other people has suggested.

and yes it is very effective. i don't use it on my z fold 4 though......do not see a need for it for me.

"Nox Security" is a Play Store app and has nothing to do with Samsung Knox, which as said is only a preinstalled app on Samsung devices.

If Nox came already installed on the Blu phone as a system app you may not be able to remove it unless it has an Uninstall option in the app settings. If it was installed separately from the Play store it should be removable. Either way as with most third-party "security" or "antivirus" apps it's of little use and could actually be malware itself (as some so-called security apps have turned out to be) so you can absolutely remove it if the option is there.

I like Fox Mulder's answer best, but I am glad for all of them. The Blu is not Samsung, just a cheap government phone with not much storage and probably no room for SD. The Nox name is probably to rip off Samsung and they're probably ripping off Fort Knox. Isn't Samsung's Knox the one that's supposed to mess with people's ability to root? I think it voids the warranty if they do. Nox Security just keeps stopping anyway and it's eating up more than 90 mb.

I deleted it. I'm not sure it did much good. This Blu phone keeps bugging me that it's running out of storage. Is there a way to make it quit that? Can I make google shut up too? If I wanted play services I would've activated that.

You can root a phone with Knox (US Samsungs with their encrypted bootloaders and no unlock option are harder, but that's not Knox). And yes, it will leave a permanent indication that the phone software has been fiddled with, which the carrier or manufacturer may use to withhold warranty support. But to be fair it's not the only way that they can tell, just that it's impossible to reset while other tells can be with more or less effort (though whether you are able to undo any indicator that you've modified the phone will depend on why you need to use the warranty...).
