What do you need an anti-virus for BB for? You are only going to make your BB much more slow and unstable plus drain your battery faster. Tomorrow you will come and be saying your BB doesn't last 2 hours. |

femi4: Netqin Securitythanks ....but the netqin says network error anytime it scans for viruses |
Re: Gurus,what Antivirus Is Goo For Bb by LordReed(m): 11:49am On Nov 08, 2012 |
ahmedgafar7: why don't I need it ? I have not heard of viruses for BBs. If there are any they are so negligible as to be insignificant. Adding a TSR program to your BB that will be scanning every activity on your BB will only make the battery drain faster. Forget about anti-virus for BB. |

Smartphones can do many of things that computers do - even catch viruses and other Smalware. With millions of people storing sensitive personal information on smartphones and using them to check email, surf the Web, and conduct financial business, it's not surprising that bad guys are writing malware that targets phones. Smartphones can also be enslaved by cellular botnets - networks of compromised phones which, upon a command from a central slavemaster, can launch a distributed-denial-of-service attack to overwhelm a cellular carrier's network with bogus traffic. Such DDoS attacks are pretty common on the Web, where enslaved computers are used to bombard a Web site with so much traffic that it crashes. Malware can find its way onto smartphones through the same vectors by which it infiltrates computers, and others. Opening an email attachment; clicking on the wrong Web link; or downloading what's advertised as a ringtone can infect a smartphone with malware. With so many software apps available for smartphones, and so many people blithely downloading them, smartphones have become very fertile ground for malware writers. |

Lord_Reed: ^^^^Mister show me 5 examples of malware on Blackberry.Next time you can direct your questions to google, but let me educate you a bit, The types of malware infecting smartphones and tablets include SMS-flodders (accounting for 0.09% of all malware samples identified in 2011), worms (0.09%) and mainly spyware (63.39%) and SMS trojans (36.43%). *. Spyware – This is the more prevalent malware that accounts for 63.39% of all samples identified in 2011. This type of malware is in the form of an app that has the ability to covertly record and transmit data, such as GPS coordinates, texts or browser history. *. SMS Trojans – Making up 36% of all known mobile malware samples, this type of malware secretly sends SMS message topremium rate numbers owned by the attacker, who receives this non-recoverable money anonymously. |

femi4: Next time you can direct your questions to google, but let me educate you a bit, Don't give me that Google BS ok? I have already checked and I could not find for BLACKBERRY! So stop all that smartphone this and that, I asked specifically for Blackberry and as far as Google showed all these do not affect Blackberry because of its security features. 1 Like |

Or doesn't it work with Bis |
Re: Gurus,what Antivirus Is Goo For Bb by LordReed(m): 10:19pm On Nov 10, 2012 |
I really wonder what you are worried about virus for on a Blackberry. The phone comes with heavy security software built in. Installing antivirus is like using those tiny padlocks on a bulletproof door, utterly irrelevant. |
Re: Gurus,what Antivirus Is Goo For Bb by Nobody: 11:50am On Nov 11, 2012 |
Yea i read somewhere virus doesn't affect bb |
Re: Gurus,what Antivirus Is Goo For Bb by ahmedgafar7(m): 2:33pm On Nov 11, 2012 |
Ok I give up I don't need it |
