Thanks for posting this article.

I’ve used Trend Micro for years on my PCs.

I’ll lean toward their advice.

Color me cynical, but I don't trust any statement about the relative security of various platforms from the anti-virus companies.

Granted, they have research departments that spend lots of effort tracking such things down.

But they also have (larger) Marketing departments who determine what gets said about the research, and more often than not, it is slanted towards growing their own sales.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

But I don't believe a word any of them say without getting at least two other non-anti-virus company sources to verify it. They're snake oil salesmen, dealing in fear of the unknown, from start to finish.

Huh... A company that makes a virus scanner for Android claims that Android is unsecure and needs a virus scanner. Yeah, no bias there!
