Why are Android anti-virus firms so slow to react on Carrier IQ?

Nonsense

What sense would it make to alert the user that there's CarrierIQ installed on their systems when it can't be removed by the anti-virus software? And how often should they alert the user? Every 5 minutes? Every day? At every reboot? It would be still annoying and worthless information.

Note to Mozilla: We don't get the Firefox billboards

"Consumers and enterprises just want a fast, secure browser. Firefox happens to offer both."

Mozilla takes on web data miners with privacy icon release

You are both wrong

The last time you were right was like 10-15 years ago. Since dictionary/combination spam attacks came along nobody really needs to know your email address to spam you. They can "figure" out it by guessing and by trying random combinations. And if they do so, you will blame a company/site for having given out your email address that never actually did so, neither by purpose, nor by having been hacked or something.
