Dear friend

According to me, there is no disadvantage of using Antivirus.

Instead, an Antivirus protects your device from Viruses and Malwares.

Some Antiviruses have Anti-theft protection in them, so it can help you if you ever lost your phone.

And there are plenty of other advantages of Antiviruses.

So, don't listen to your friends.

And keep using Antivirus without any worry.

Hope the answer will be helpful.
