2 of 3 Blackberrys have malware? I don't think so
Anyone care to comment on this?

I suppose it depends on *their* definition of malware.
Example: If a person consciously installs an app on their BB, trusting it to be a legit game for instance, but that app does something malicious like harvest contacts. Wouldn't that be considered malware? Unless I am missing something, that is very possible. But two out of three may be a rather high assumption. |

I think it is pure BS, but devnull makes a good point re: definition of "malware".

Devnull, I just found out about this today after I posted this thread. Check out these threads at CrackBerry about Jared Company apps.
Jared Company Spam after downloading app - BlackBerry Forums at CrackBerry.com Why Is Jared Company Still Allowed to Offer Apps? - BlackBerry Forums at CrackBerry.com I've never downloaded any of their apps, and never will after reading those threads. But I don't know if any of the security apps for BlackBerry like SmrtGuard would detect that either. I guess the lesson is to be careful of the permissions apps ask for and what you allow. And read user agreements, privacy policies. But claiming 2/3 of BlackBerrys, 3/4 of Windows Mobile and "just about every" Android device has/have malware is a huge exaggeration, unless thay have solid research data to back it up which I highly doubt. |

I think that's a very high number and devnull does make a point there
