Re: Updates

There's malware in the wild for iOS too

Please, please, please, name it so I can have a look at it - by that I mean in a Western app store, though, I would never install an app where I could not even read the screen. It will be totally worth rebuilding the phone from scratch because I have as yet not seen a single such app. Pretty please?

I've said for years that no matter what platform you're running only a fool runs a system with access to the internet and no anti-malware and I stand by that.

You can do rather well if you start with decent fundamentals. Anti-virus is more like forgetting to add the brakes when you design a sports car and then fix it by selling chains and boat anchors. I must admit, though, that Google is the only company I know that has been able to start from a Unix platform and then make it look more like Windows from the perspective of vulnerabilities :)
