[QUOTE="Fn FiveseveN, post: 770332, member: 75520"] I mostly use android as my laptop is broken and I've gone through nearly every major "antivirus/malware" app on the play store. Yet keep gettimg reoccuring malware like activity within a week to a months time span after factry resets. I've got theories how its done but the fact of the matter is most people including myself are either naive or incredibility misinformed about just how easy it is to hack someones info/computer/device or simply just employ measures to trick them into gving up said info. Its a sad state of affairs especially with grey hats out there and as OP said these AV companies simply will not admit its a losing uphill battle for their products. It taks multiple measures and self education to begin to combat this issue but where there are white hats there will always be far more black hats and with that said. This is my first post, hi guys. Came here to learn, im more street smart than techie but lately I've been readimg up on cyber security/crime every spare moment. Bit OCD but I feel like you kind of have to be when it comes to technology these days. [/QUOTE]
