[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 861205"] I personally dont think an AV is necessary for android. I use to have one, but then realized that I'm just wasting resources. Sure there is malware that still makes it on to the play store, but the chances of running into those are low, unless you install anything and everything. Like Windows, follow safe commin practices and you'll be fine. Dont go installing everything you see, if your not sure do some research on the program first. Don't go clicking on every link you get via email/SMS. Like Windows many people get infected as a result of what they, the user was doing. It rarely the result of some random piece of malware just randomly sneaking on to your system. [/QUOTE]
