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

This jibes with what I’m inclined to believe. Which is always reason to be more skeptical than usual.

That said, Android simply can’t be locked down as tight as iOS is. Part of its model is that manufacturers and carriers are able to customize the OS. Whether that translates into a real vulnerability is a question I’d rather have answered by folks who don’t have anything to sell.
