Yet if you took the time to read it. What it protects against is the same viruses that the iPhone can and would spread. The "viruses/malware" are resting in the flash memory and will edit the autoplay file on it which in turn loads up the malware. the iPhone has flash memory section can can be accessed like a flash drive on a computer.

The AV software is effectually protecting the Android from spreading in malware that any flash memory would spread.

The iPhone can spread that malware part of the phones memory can be accessed like any flash drives memory can.

Damn simple logic beats the fanboy again.

Things like these are more likely to happen on Android phones than on the iPhone due to the "open" nature of Android.


with the good comes the bad is all i'm saying

Rofl. Your stance has changed. From your initial posts you were insinuating that the virus not only ran on android you were also concerned with the data stored on the phone.. now we're worried for the 'openness' of user mountable file storage.
