Antivirus for Android?

[Jonke Suhr]

Hi Lucas,

I'm no Android expert, but I do believe Android has a strong security 
model (provided you are using the latest version) which relies on the 
sandboxing of all apps.

I'm unaware of any recent large-scale attacks targeting Android users. 
If your friend is diligent and uses only trusted sources for apps (no 
shady third-party app stores), he shouldn't need to worry.

Cheers,

Jonke
