[QUOTE="Jonny Quest, post: 1030353, member: 99434"] Hello :) Something that has been on my mind for a while, is there a security difference between the two, in my case, Android and Windows in this regard, is the smaller environment of Android OS easier to protect, compared the broader desktop environment of the Windows OS? Is it easier to lock down security-wise our phones, or our notebooks? Do we more freely and at times without second guessing, download and run apps from Play Store, or is it the same with our PC's and all the sites we could download from, including freeware? Would you feel safer banking from a phone and having a banking phone app installed, or from a notebook behind Safepay, or Safe Money or the like? What would you do or not do on a phone, that you would feel more secure about doing on a desktop? I know it's a lot of questions, and I'm not expecting an answer to each one, but feel free to answer whatever strikes you to answer :) TIA :) [/QUOTE]
