swavkav Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Why is it we need anti virus/internet protectionfor PC's & laptops but not for mobile phones? which we all go on the internet with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Das Root Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Technically you do need it for phones, see recent viral issues with Android 2.2...just that nobody really bothers to write viruses for them / not everybody has a smart phone, just a feature phone. Supposedly will be required soon enough on Android and iOS but won't really have a large take up from users dependent on cost per licence and until the dual core processors roll out on the market to minimise overheads for realtime scanning etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Vespa Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 You can get anti virus stuff for phones so I guess you get viruses too. Prob just not as common and phones don't download as much stuff. Well, for most people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
