[QUOTE="Brahman, post: 889409, member: 11847"] Linux too have viruses but not to the extent of windows. Android even though it uses linux kernel ( modified) is not free of virus/ malwares. Since android is the most widely used os the extent and reach of a malware gets exponential and this is so much more attractive to any malware developer to create something which is detrimental to the user. Playstore ( Google Play) is not completely malware free ( by using the term malware, it also includes those apps which are not in sync with Google's security & privacy guidelines), there are instances when google had taken down apps which had violated it's privacy policy terms. Those apps when it had taken down had millions of installation instances. So android should have some antimalware app, even if you only uses apps from Google Play. [/QUOTE]
