[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 85911, post: 861304"] Android AVs are worthless most use simple application whitelists\blacklists with some fake buttons however, literally millions upon millions of Android phones are infected yearly the problem is a huge epidemic the best Android malware will be undetectable such as FinSpy but just as Tavis Ormady say "Android will bring the first billion dollar whopper" meaning he first billion dollar stealing malware will likely be on Android the issues with Android are systemic and structural they cannot be fixed unless there is a haulover of the Android licensing system putting AV on Android is utter waste of time [/QUOTE]
