Smartphones are the next security vulnerability

Devices such as smartphones and tablets are a significant future security risk, says McAfee

it was just a matter of time

Ironic that McAfee is the first one talking about these insecurities. Now they can delete important system files off mobile devices too.

Any device that connects to the web is likely to attract malicious software. Security software for smartphones will soon become a 'must have' tool for users!

And so the AV Companies start to make even More money

You don't say.

I just use a condom! And charge my phone with fresh veggies, especially beetroot!

It's okay. I have a call limit on my phone.

Looks like my phone is immune, then. It really pays to use an "inferior" mobile OS - asks confirmation for almost all actions if your security settings are correct.

Then again, I don't go around accepting Bluetooth transfers and downloading apps at random.

Just go to http://iphonespy.com/ and see what you can do to an iPhone, similar is available for other makes. The big thing is keep your phone in your own control nd use common sense.

Phone viruses have been available for over six years now, so nothing new here. Just try to avoid apps from eastern europe. Usually written in bad english
