About LinkBacksJust got done reading this article from PCworld. You may or may not have already seen it but I figured I wouls share it since all android users should be aware of what's going on with their mobile OS of choice. Sounds like anti-virus apps may actually become useful. Of course for now, as long as you don't download anything you aren't sure about, which most of us should be smart enough not to do, then we will be ok, but malware creators always seem to find a way in to at least some systems. Anyways, here's the link - http://www.pcworld.com/businesscente...ve_growth.html

04-26-2011 10:46 PMWasn't the goal of the last outbreak to gain root access? If I read that right, then we would have to allow access to the root. I could be way off though.

I myself wander around the house, stop, and wonder why people often mistake the word "wander" for "wonder"...boggles the mind it does. Originally Posted by iamkimosabi
