80 percent of smartphones still have no malware protection

Just another example of a product from a LARGE company that doesn't incorporate 'best practices' and could care less about infections...........probably because there is more money in treating an infected device rather than implementing measures that are 99% effective at STOPPING MALWARE.

This sort of stuff remains mostly FUD while Android remains impregnable to any security risks not involving an active user error. Doesn't really matter how much malware there is if none of it can get on the phone without consent and active participation from the phone's user.

K so they don't have it because it doesn't exist or? I was expecting/hoping for suggestions of what a few good apps would be to add the protection.

Build quickly; think later.

Yeah, and? The only real threat is your own idiocy. As mentioned, what a shocker, somebody making money off of selling their crap is fearmongering.
