I’ve always been a fan of antivirus maker AVG. That’s primarily because of the intense pain I felt when renewing staple Norton Symantec AntiVirus subscriptions back in the day, when the PC was our sole method of connectivity and Norton was our sole method of antivirus protection. AVG came along in due course, and provided a free, PC-based solution that seemed to work just as well as Norton — or just as poorly, depending on whether you’d just been attacked by an easy-to-remove virus or a mega-death-sentence type virus that required a total hard-drive format anyway.
So I guess I have to question how safe Android is if I need a Anti Virus for it? Because I have yet to see much interest in Anti Virus for IOS from Apple or Microsofts Windows 7 Mobile. So it makes me wonder why these big AV companies are focusing on Android?
Do they know something that users do not? Or do they feel those users will be more compelled to buy it?
