I have kapersky on my phone for viruses but nothing else, what other programs should I add to help with malware etc ?
Thanks
 
I find the best source of anti malware is the soft squidgy thing operating the device ;)
Malwarebytes has ways been a decent little application.
Google's baked in Play store scanning has always been known to be pretty reliable although and I've never had any issues thrown up by it.

Did you run a deep scan? It also depends what the program is looking for. Are you sure those 300 entities weren't tracking cookies or some such rather than bona fide malware? In my years of working with PC's if someone had 300 sources of malware on their system it shouldn't even be working.

My initial response was a little tongue in cheek however in all seriousness unless you're sideloading/downloading things you shouldn't be or visiting web pages you shouldn't be then your phone should be absolutely fine without third party cybersecurity. If you are doing all those things then I'm not sure any antivirus or anti malware are going to 100% work.
