Using an antivirus software is never the most effective way to keep your device secure. Many of the applications come with a backdoor which the developer or the hackers may use to gain access to your device, push some malicious content, promoted apps or adware to your device. They may also access your personal contents.
While this not only happens with third-party apps but with official apps or system apps as well. Xiaomi phone users are very aware of this. Xiaomi's MIUI system apps are famous for downloading and installing sponsored contents such as adware, apps, app suggestions and annoying notifications. For example, it makes no sense for a File Explorer app to make an internet connection on MI phone.
You may have updated your antivirus, configured firewall to shield your system from online threats and other networks attacks. But is your system really protected physically from data theft at times when someone else gets access or a thief takes away your notebook or desktop cabinet? Well, windows/Linux/ another OS password will fail to protect your files in such cases. There comes the BIOS password protection, which provides another layer of security to your system.
