I know it's not Windows, that's why I asked because I'm still learning Linux/Unix code and such... And hacking/virus implement the same general idea, except usually a virus is the initial threat, than hacking is followed once your firewalls and ip's are logged/exploited...

Heard of that, did some reading and seems it was between LookOut and Dr. Web's AntiVirus..

At the moment there really is no urgency..but give it a year, 2 ,3 and it will start becoming a norm.

Not yet anyways, in time I'm sure there will be... It only took a short while of coding to develop a virus test file to infect Mac's so Google/Android I'm sure are the next targets since they're about to be the next biggest thing (if they haven't surpassed that already) in advertising alone lol..

Thanks for the input..

Point well taken..!! Haha, they say there's only a limited portion of our info they can see legally but that's probably a crock of shit... They probably have a "Sexting" department that gets to review all the sexy naked chicks sending MMS pics all day lol...
"HEY REMEMBER THAT CHICK FROM YESTERDAY IN THE 305 AREA CODE, SHE'S SENDING TO THAT DUDE AGAIN CHECK IT OUT...!!!!" lmaoo...
