In spite of all security breaches and malware fears, that we the last few months with Android market have Symantec Norton AntiVirus is fame, still Android and iOS give advantage compared to the security of desktop and notebook PCs.
Symantec a mobile device security study carried out and found that Apple and Google mobile OS are installed as a Microsoft Windows on the prevention of "Drive by" app always even safer and malicious software often are not so many privileges as their desktop counterparts retrieve may. Also a level of security usually on PCs see not the fact that both mobile OS use signatures adds to their apps.
Apple's iOS is still at the top as most secure with the strict screening of security threats for all of their apps. Of course we all have heard, the complaints have a lot of developers with regard to the flexibility of the iOS apps and it is one of the reasons why, which turn to many Android. While it would be very difficult to make malware applications that could endanger Symantec, iOS says that it is not impossible.
Now on Android, Symantec, says that the company deliberately loose app certification process, not market-based apps and vague permissions permissions systems of all the OS fast growing malware problem help. For this problem, the device is also add fragmentation. Most of the devices released today are many not Android 2.3 who has patched the deeds, apps take advantage of the malware have taken. Google business model for their market hypothetically leads to more diversity in apps but, to security holes that might now require anti-virus applications.
With the presence of so many viruses and malware, it is one of the reasons, which I've actually switched to a Mac for my personal computer, and I an ASUS transformer instead testing of a cheap NetBook for my little cousin. I am about this virus/malware stuff, and I feel its not like something, which I should take care of in a computer or mobile phone.
But what do you think guys? See always the next haven for malware and viruses Android, or have you believe that Google somehow to prevent that malware in the Android market can? What think you should be done (if anything)?
