None, and never planning on getting one. If a virus hits an Android device then it's the user to blame. Probably downloaded a non Market app, visited a suspicious website, exchanged bad files with people over Bluetooth, etc. It's always the user.

And is it REALLY necessary to tell everyone that you are using a nexus one and tapatalk in every message you post? Everyone is impressed with your excellent taste by now- there's no need to keep rubbing our noses in it. Last edited by tyler.durden; 09-26-2010 at 10:14 AM. |

There is no need of anti virus. If there is a need of any security, Lookout is good. There are others too I can't remember the name.
As far as I know, Linux platform is 99% virus free. Oh yeah... I love my Tapatalk sig too because that showed that I am not on the computer and maybe other forummers would understand if some of the elements of the forum that I could not see or missed due to the limitation. And its cool too  Come on man... its just a few harmless words.. InViSibLe-ChoKe by TaPaTaLk

Not sent using Tapatalk or on my Nexus one at all. I would tell everyone where I sent the message from but why would anyone care.

Lookout is by far the best protection application for android. So many features.
