Answer
No app. For me it's what I do.

I don't install from untrusted sources and I keep stuff I don't use for a month or two off the device.

In my case the best security app is me.

We have the CIQ root kit and you are using Biometric security. Now what if they are collecting your biometric data and sending it home?

Follow three simple steps, and no security app will be needed on android:

1. Read before you click "okay".
2. Use play store to download apps.
3. Don't claim the million dollars you just won.

Here, this might just solve your problems. Have a good day! Cheers. Cool
