Does Droid 2 comes with Antivirus Protection?

[pdawgy]

Does Droid 2 comes with Antivirus Protection standard or do you have to install an app for it... If it does not come standard, does anyone have recommendations for the best antivirus app?

Thanks!

Has anyone ever actually known of anyone getting a virus on a smartphone?

This is my 3rd smartphone and I have never gotten a virus. I use it for surfing the web, email, watching movies, word docs, etc.

I know plenty of people with smartphones and none of them have ever gotten a virus either.

No its not a big deal, but it can always provide that little bit of extra security. 

There has been a few malicious apps in the market that take your personal info and send it to the developers, but google has been fairly good at removing the ones that are like that. 

Keep in mind the permissions that you have to agree to when you install an app.

Coming from experience here....I got a text from a friend that prompted to download something. I thought my friend was sending me a picture or sound. I downloaded it, but then the download disappeared. I never found it. Called my friend later to ask what she sent. She said she sent me nothing at all. Later on down the road I got Lookout Security. That app found a harmful thing in my phone. I believe it was from that thing I downloaded from my friend.

Safe is better then having troubles later on.
