davyboy Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Does anyone have A/V or a firewall on their smart phone? If there are such things.
Sarkysod Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 If you have an Android phone, I know you can get AVG Anti Virus from the Android market. You can probably also get a firewall, but I have not looked yet. I have never been that concerned with either for my phone, I will more than likely only close the stable door, once the horse has bolted.
stimpy Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 there are quite a few. avg and lookout for example are 2 for android. personally I cant see any point in them. AVG I was a bit wary of as that also scanned text messages. It removed 4 messages I had sent to myself from my work phone saying they were potentially malicious... uninstalled it straight away.
ElasticMan Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 If you regularly engage in 'risky' activities - downloading apps from untrusted sources, browsing 'dodgy' links, then it might be worth installing one. Lookout is probably the best option on Android. However, even though Android Malware does exist, I am yet to meet anyone who has encountered any OR anyone who has been saved from it by using one of these apps.
