Lol, I think I would have more problems if my wifi get hacked and anti virus from my phone isn't even remotely connected to router hacking. Nothing has anything to do with the other.

Really now? Here's the thing.....hundreds of thousands of home routers have been hacked. Most people dont even know it. The hackers place 2 DNS servers in the settings. The primary one is the fake one which works well for most sites but for financial ones routes you to their fake phishing pages. The 2nd backup DNS is a valid and real one. The hackers then randomly schedule shut downs of the fake primary DNS so the users arent aware. When they browse, everything seems normal because you will be using the valid clean backup DNS. But they catch a lot unawRes when the fake one is turned on and the unsuspecting victim is duped into entering info in the fake website via the fake primary DNS.

What does this have to do with anti virus on your phone? Simple....when the fake dns routes you to the phishing site....the anti virus will catch it and warn them.

Hope this clear things up for you. But pls feel free to uninstall your antivirus software on your phone.

And thats just one attack vector anti virus software helps mitigate against.
