I just scanned my memory card.. the titanium backup of app "youtube downloader" had virus and even the "Root.zip" download from one of the threads in this site had the virus named android_dc.DCY detected on AVG antivirus.. but avast did nt show anything of such kind.. any serious effects of this virus..???
Avg is a little overactive, it also seems to see root as a problem.

Try scanning with Avast! before jumping to the conclusion that it has a virus. Avast! is the most accurate free AV you can get.

But the PC definitions are different to the mobile definitions. Android viruses won't set off any PC anti-viruses because Android is based on Unix.

Use Zoner Antivirus. I saw it's the best rated free antivirus for android.

True but most of the viruses that you would get from an android device, will be pc viruses.
You're both full of crap. PC virussen can't infect Unix/Linux systems. And there are no android specific viruses, just malware apps.

If you mean is there a friendly recovery menu and stuff?
NO.
You can tell the pc to boot almost any device from the bios.
PC's are not like phones... if you want a modified OS you need to do it yourself.
There are a few modified linux distro's, but a pc is not like a phone... you install the OS and use it, because installing takes allot more time.. so changing your OS constantly is a pain.
PC's are meant to be used.. not re-flashed for mere theme like android.

Guys, i would like to share with you a piece of info. Apple has acquired a few patents related to Android. What's the relation? Android has infringed 9 patents of Apple and 2 from Microsoft. This will cause Android mobile producers to stop device production. So, what are the patents infringed?? Well i only saw 2. It is the multi-touchscreen of Apple's patent and some other thing... i forgot.
This info is from some part of xda... i forgot... Google it. Its based on somethingarena.com... so maybe android will die out.

Anyway talking serious now, I really doubt Android will come to an end, at least involuntarily. Google is extremely powerful! It's not some patent infringement that will stop it... They probably have the best lawyers, and strong arguments.
One thing, I have some thoughts that maybe Google will discontinue Android, but maybe after 3 future successful years, to crest another new OS, which will have backward app compatibility with Android... Sounds crazy yeah? Anyway that's my thoughts lol

I refuse to use a security package made by the very people that provided the security holes in the first place.
Free: Avast is good. AVG is good as well.
Paid: ESET is good.
And all three of those are low overhead compared to other products.
What viruses? I use Linux.

Avast, & AVG miss a ton. Avira (free) has caught stuff the other free ones miss, no false-positives, ether. With the exception of android root kits.

I use Microsoft Security Essential. It's free and it don't bother me too much
BonziBuddy is the best anti virus.
Currently I use Avast (Free version) with PeerBlock to control activity on specific ports. In the past, I used Kaspersky anti-virus in the past, but my license ran out and I just never renewed.
For free: Microsoft Security Essentials
For paid: Kaspersky PURE or Kaspersky Internet Security 2013
Note about Kaspersky, you can occasionally get them for free on NewEgg.com or Fry's Electronics, usually when a new version os released they give a full price rebate.

How are would they put an adult's lung inside a 10 year old girl?
I realize that this is not a charity org site, which is why I'm not asking for monetary donations. All I'm asking for is a couple of minutes out of everyone's busy schedule to just sign a petition that could possibly help the child from my post above or any other child that may face the same situation in the near future.
Besides, the last I checked, this is an off topic forum.
Also for those that feel this is fake...that's why I posted the link to abcnews site. This was also on the news broadcast this afternoon. Check all the news sources online or offline and let me know if you find that this is a scam.

Even when petitions "succeed" they typically do absolutely nothing and the people who sign them go back to their lives feeling like they made a difference. If you really care about something then you need to call or write your representative and encourage others to do the same.
Also for those that are skeptical, the petition to Make Unlocking Cell Phones Legal received 114,322 signatures(including mine) and resulted in an official White House response:
OFFICIAL WHITE HOUSE RESPONSE TOMake Unlocking Cell Phones Legal. said:
The White House agrees with the 114,000+ of you who believe that consumers should be able to unlock their cell phones without risking criminal or other penalties. In fact, we believe the same principle should also apply to tablets, which are increasingly similar to smart phones. And if you have paid for your mobile device, and aren't bound by a service agreement or other obligation, you should be able to use it on another network. It's common sense, crucial for protecting consumer choice, and important for ensuring we continue to have the vibrant, competitive wireless market that delivers innovative products and solid service to meet consumers' needs.

Sorry, I don't know if I'm in the right place and suspect my non existent level of knowledge might offend, as reading all these posts are way above my level. Yahoo mail keeps sending me emails that my mobile phone security is out of date and no longer secure. Is there somewhere I can go and click on an update? I thought this would be something that was done automatically, like with windows, but obviously not. Or is my only option to upgrade to a new phone? Thanks, I'd appreciate your help. I thought it would be easy to find something online but maybe I am asking the wrong question.
