i dont see the need to run anti-virus on my XT especially considering the OS is linux based. not some windows type trash. people have been conditioned to think that because these phones operate like computers, theyre susceptible to the same troubles.Not IMO, Just be smart about what u install. If an app requests a permission that seems weird (a media player with access to ur messages, in this case) don't install it. It's really that simple .Always be smart and pay attention to what has access to ur stuff. That logic pretty much applies to everything in life. Follow that and you should be set.
