: Mcaffee reports android attacks, then offers the solution as
: crapware on new devices. Does anyone see a conflict in interest?
: It isn't the proportional number of "targeted attacks" on
: Android relative to other OS's that matters - although this data
: makes for a useful bit of marketing hype for McAffee - it is the
: actual number of successful malware installations allowed by
: mobile devices, and neither McAffee nor likely anyone else is
: providing that information. Android is the fastest growing
: mobile OS out there at the moment, it stands to reason that the
: goofs who program the mischief are targeting the new system.
: This fact tells you almost nothing about the real relative risk
: of the different operating systems.
: As with PC's, operator behaviour is a large part of malware success
: or lack of it.
: Just my two bits worth,

Yeah supposedly a PC gets more viruses than a Mac but I've been using a PC for, heck I don't know - a really long time, without problems.
That's one problem I don't think I'll worry about much, be careful what you download, well duh.
