Can I get Ad & Spyware & Viruses on my TP2?

Hello all

Sorry to ask this here but as I have a TP2 it seemed like the best place.

So I was just wondering if just like a PC, when surfing the net and getting e-mails, can I pick up Adware, Mail and Spyware and Viruses?

If so are there any program for these like they have for PC's?

Thanks.

very doubtful you will ever get anything.

Sure you can, you can have your TP2 be hit from a meteor that fell from space, firing like a missile into your device.

Sure it can happen, is it likely? Pretty ****ing not,

considering you can hard reset and be back in full force in like, a day.

You have a greater chance of getting hacked through bluetooth.....just like you can with any phone that has bluetooth.
