Why I don’t buy the Hype about running AntiVirus on your SmartPhone

Brought to you by HeroTechs Long Island Virus Removal Experts:

A word about getting a Virus on your iPhone or SmartPhone… there are virus scanners out there which will scan your phone for viruses, back your data up and locate your missing phone all packaged as a “Security Application”.  I downloaded and tried some of these and decided to run my phone unprotected.  The first thing is that my data is replicated using Microsoft Active Sync with my exchange server to many devices, therefore it is protected with multiple copies.  If my phone was to get an infection I simply perform a hard reset and restore my phone back to it’s original settings and then reload my user account information for synchronization and I am back in business pretty quickly.  The only useful feature is the find your phone feature but the entire application is a resource hog.  I decided that having performance outweighed the small chance of infection and given the quick rebuild resolution time I decide that these software packages do not perform valuable ROI.  Just my 2 cents.
