[QUOTE="DeepWeb, post: 763296, member: 63811"] I don't know anyone who has ever had Android malware. Unless you download shady little known apps from outside Play Store you will never be affected. Just make sure you run the latest Linux kernel and you already have all the protection from Linus Torvalds. lol. The permissions system is strong, far stronger than in Windows + every app is by default sandboxed + phones have no root access by default. I would say if you are on Android 7.0 you are still safe. Monthly security updates are great but nobody will ever bother exploiting those holes other than nation states. I have never heard of sophisticated Android malware. 99% of Android malware can literally be uninstalled and it's truly gone. Now compare that to Swiss cheese Windows. Phones are the future. We are moving to a post-PC society and that is a good thing. [/QUOTE]
