Terry from The Word, Christian?  Was that him?  Couldn't think of anyone more random.  Not sure why Keith would be following him mind.

Don't make me look it up Tal, please.

The very same!

Android ones quite often do, and you can get anti virus for them.  Apple products have always been a bit more secure than Windows products

Please don't mistake this statement for 'Apple more secure' because the reason that historically that Apple devices have been more 'secure' is because if I'm writing a virus to infect as many people as possible im not bothered about the one hipster graphic designer with his Mac, I'm going for windows machines.

Now that iEverything is more ubiquitous it is a concern.

If you have things you like on your iphone/iPad etc then protect it like you would your PC.

Of course not.  I guess one of the main reasons why is that there are many millions more Windows users than Apple users, including I would guess nearly 99% of all workplace software, so it makes a much larger target for virus writers.   I expect Apple has it's vulnerabilities too but in general, less people bother trying to exploit them.

OK, then I'm surprised there's no virus protection advertised / advised and I've never ever heard of anyone getting a virus on their phone both iphone or other.

there's quite a lot available, although you're right, not widely advertised. would particularly recommend if you often plug phone into other devices (like PC...)

I bought McAfee for my new laptop the other day and the software package included cover for my 'phone. So, I now have McAfee on my 'phone.

I'm trying this out atm. It's free,  and it seems effective, unobtrusive and easy on my battery.

malwarebytes is the nuts on your PC as well Tom.

would recommend Sophos Android Security on Android as well.

whilst on topic I should note that mainly ios is v secure because you can only install what apple approves.

unless you jailbreak it.

that said, if you use ios a lot for work in an enterprise environment there are things (from Symantec, Sophos, amongst others) which are useful.

For android, AV protection is imo essential though, especially if you allow installs from non-google play sources.

What is AV protection?

AV protection = anti-virus protection of some sort.

Had a proper look at the Malwarebytes Mobile app specs and looks v good so I don't think you necessarily need another program like Sophos. If Malwarebytes is working for you then just stick with that.
