Re: anti-virus for tp2 & status bar on phone
you need av on your phones... to think that it will never happen to you is kind of foolish. Yes, there is some kind of trojan floating around that you get if you install that anti-terorist 3d game. thats just one that we know of. Just because you never heard of one doesn't mean that they don't exist. you can get infected from a legitimate site through illigitimate ads on top of installing a rogue app on accident.
Just look at the nature of this website... all kinds of apps are being passed around by word-of-mouth... no verification at all - just "trust"... kind of foolish really.
prevention is better than a hard reset, because by the time you hardreset someon may have already gotten into your bank account... mobile banking is a huge malware opportunity.
PC Tools has a beta of a mobile av called Gaurdian. I'm running it... but like all other AV apps... can't really tell if its working unless i try to get myself infected... so...
Anyway, we're all too naive to think that we're all safe simply because we "never heard of a ppc virus before"...
