Been using Odin 1 Click for months now. Never did it ever say it was a virus or whatever.
I have Norton 360.
If u r on ur work system, chances are that it could get flagged since its an EXE (be it inside zip). Most office systems do so, even if its a legitimate app unless its recognized by ur office security tool.

That is a common thing really. It even happened with the WM version to flash my old HTC. It is not a virus.
super one click distributes and uses either the psneuter or rageagainstthecage exploits to gain root. They may be showing up in virus scan definitions by now since they have been around for a bit..
also your office may just identify anything that is a script and not signed by MS as virus or some such... I'd chalk it up to an aggressive corporate policy.

Rageagainstthecage flagged as a virus with kaspersky for me. But the reason was BC it was a script that could change files. But it was no virus.

So, wait. Is rageagainstthecage harmful, or is it what is done after that exploit that is harmful. I'm referring to this article discussing the viruses found in the Android Marketplace.

RATC is not in itself harmful. What the "droid dream" app did after gaining root was harmful.
Here is an analogy.
think of the rage..cage as a handgun there are responsible people who choose to own them and use them conscientiously to protect their home or whatnot and there are others that will take that same handgun and and do much harm...
super one click is the good kind and "droid dream" is the bad kind...
BAHAHAHA!!!!! As an IT guy, Christine makes me chuckle. Like a lot!!! Thanks for that!
And then, there's Christine's IT guy. It's sad actually. All it would've taken is one question. "What do you use this program for?"
No need to repeat what everyone else said regarding safety.

p2p software like limewire for andriod? is this possible i think it is just not avaliable is anyone working on this ? or willing too ?
well theres a photoshop mobile for most phone so who knows if there will be a mobile limewire or ares
i dont see why it wouldnt be possible especially with 3g, but it would probably violate some sort of data service contract agreement that tmobile gives you
its been done on iphone already and windows mobile theres pleanty of software p2p but just not for android iam sure someone will make it soon but i think it will not appear on the andriod market place and t-mobile wont care they just enjoy getting there money every month

There is andtorrent that lets you download torrents

2 - No reason except the obvious to use this, Gnutella isnt a means of legal distribution, BitTorrent can and is actually used for a legal means, fairly often too.
3 - there already are BT clients for android, but AFAIK, none are very good, check out ABTC on the Market.

While I agree with lbcoder, the "MICROSHAFT" comment was unhelpful and unnecessary. Ever heard of/used an anti-virus product on a WinMo phone? Nope. Me either.
And for the record... Linux and OSX have viruses as well.

i've heard of at least one, but i can't remember the name of it.
a job i was doing some years ago saw the boss and myself using imate jasjams (HTC TyTN?).
my boss managed to locate an antivirus app for the phone and installed it.
no idea how well it worked. i didn't bother with it.
Symantec had/has one for WinMo. I used it for a while. But it was more of a gimmick than anything else. Never seen a virus or a positive scan.
I would say because of the nature of Android we shouldnt see much in terms of viruses, however the system leaves much too control to trojans imho.
read bout this new app from droidsecurity called virusfree, meant to be good. They also offer a phone tracking service so you can remote wipe the memory if it's lost or stolen, that sounds pretty handy as I've previously had a phone stolen and it's a pain to change passwords etc

lollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll.
wouldn't virsus be possible if they do manage to get root access? I know a few of the customized ROMs require no notification for applications to gain root status. I am sure with root, an application can some how manage to do some damage. rm -r /sdcard anyone?

There is a problem with this website's security certificate.
The security certificate presented by this website was issued for a different website's address.
Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send to the server.

Every time I visit another website, and then come back to XDA (yes I do close out that window before coming back to XDA), I see an advertisement for that website on XDA ? (or should I say, products advertised on that website)

There's an opt-out on the ad network's site, to disable the tracking.
Is it a perk of being a recognised dev that I never see ads? I recently saw the site when I wasn't logged in and was like whaaaaaa?

If you hover over them, try and get the domain name of it. If it's a google/doubleclick one, head to http://www.google.co.uk/privacy/ads/ for information about this. That's the google UK link, but there will be a suitable one for your region too (and I think it's a generic thing anyway)

Two possibilities here:
You don't get much.
You are married.
Which is it?
Macs are just as susceptible to viruses as anything else. Always have been. They just aren't targeted as much. Apple even sells an antivirus, they just keep it hush hush.
While windows is Targeted much much more, you can be much better defended if you know what you are doing.
The next time someone tells you, "Macs don't get viruses", ask them, "Then why does Apple sell an antivirus?"

I believe your answer is in the OP. (Sorry coudn't resist!) Thought about pointing it out but didn't want to encourage flaming.
Seriously though, thank you to the MODs for all their hard work! (Love your signature by the way)
I cant guess the last time I got a virus on Windows, maybe 1997/8?, and have never even thought about it on my MBP. Just ran a few terminal commands and still clean as a whistle. I use my Mac for all my Android stuff, dont have to worry about drivers...
