Do you use anti virus on your smartphone?

[Heatman]

Some people are not always bothered about having anti virus software installed in their smartphone. As for me, it's something that's very important because virus can get I into anywhere once there vulnerability in your system security. I'm making use of Avast now.

I have never bothered about using anti virus software for my smartphone because I don't usually download anything online using my smartphone. It's going to be impossible for me to get in contact with virus.

I would still recommend that you make use of anti virus on your smartphone the same way as you do with your computer. There's no harm in doing that because you can't be too careful when it comes to your data protection.

I've never had an antivirus on my smartphone because I don't feel as though you really need one as they're different to a normal laptop of computer aren't they? I haven't really known of a popular antivirus on any phone, iOS or Android come to think of it. I think if you're careful about the sites you visit, that removes a large portion of the potential risk factor.

No I've never had an antivirus installed on my phone because it's not really something I feel is important. Yeah you can get exploits on your phone but I don't think it's possible to get them in the same way that a normal PC or laptop would get hacked. I use an iPhone anyway and because they're so locked down I'm sure they're safe enough!
