Some of the newest platforms for mobile devices have proven to be big winners in part due to the emerging importance of adding applications to your phone or tablet to customize the experience. And thus the “app store” has turned into a retailing powerhouse for software developers and a key distribution channel. But since the various programs come from a very wide list of providers, some with secure design and some perhaps with room to grow you have to be cautious about what you install. To protect your device from poorly written or maliciously inclined software, we recommend you install security software.
