A new open source antivirus software for Android

Yesterday, I updated the repositories via Foxy Droid, as I usually do. There are apps that I don't find any interests of most of the time, like TTRSS-Reader and SagerNet, but one of the new apps caught my eyes: Hypatia. I clicked on it and found out that it's an antivirus software that actually uses ClamAV and not just scanning the apps' permissions like what LibreAV do.

Since I love history, the name Hypatia made me to view more information about the app in Foxy Droid. I often listen to episodes from the Swedish podcast channel P3 Historia and one time, I listened to an episode where they talked about the Greek philosopher and astronomer and mathematician Hypatia.

I used LibreAV for a while before, but didn't find it safe enough, so I uninstalled it. Instead, I installed Kaspersky Antivirus and used that one for a couple of weeks or so. I have been a devoted Kaspersky fan since the mid 00s, and I am still a fan, but I don't like that they transfer every file they scan to their servers. Hypatia does not do that and for that, I find it totally awesome! Even if I don't need an antivirus software on my phone, I am still feeling safe of having one installed.
