| 1378353 | 2014-07-03 20:30:00 | Based on that article, I don't need any on my PC either. Just my common sense, which is true - I never get any infections.... Better safe than sorry though.....You never know. Once Android (and the rest) become more of a target, then I would expect more malware. |

| 1378354 | 2014-07-04 03:36:00 | Android is a massive target, it's not exactly a niche operating system. So is iOS but probably a bit harder to get through that one (Not impossible) with apple vetting apps before allowing. | Alex B (15479) | ||
| 1378355 | 2014-07-04 05:03:00 | I had avast mobile for a few months, which has a good interface and menu structure (too many really) with text/call blocking and tracking. But it slowed things a little, and never found critical threats from play store downloads and browsing. So uninstalled Avast. More worried about dropping my phones than a virus. As noted above just simple soft or hard reset. Perhaps useful for mobile banking - predicted to be a billion users soon, (www.cutimes.com) where there is the greatest risk, particularly if connected to a company network, but then mobile antivirus software can be disabled from malware. The Zitmo (www.securelist.com) Trojan is an example. |
