I asked on here back in 2009 when I got my first Blackberry if I needed to instal a firewall and an anti virus and was advised I didn't need any because mobile phones are hard to infect these days and that Blackberries are secure.
After that warning on the News last night about a worldwide virus being about to affect everyones computers, I wondered if the situation regarding Blackberries has changed. I have free Avast anti virus on my computer and Comodo fre firewall but I have nothing on my mobile phone.
I have a Q10 - and yes, I know I'm probably the only person in the country still using BB, but I like a qwerty keyboard so I've stayed with BB. So, is it safe?
I have had a look in the settings for my Q10 and I can't see a firewall that I can enable. There doesn't seem to be anything in settings.
I've tried looking on the Vodafone website and can't see any info regarding this.
I could phone their helpline but I find their advice to be hit and miss.
Are there any DS'ers who can advise me?
Thanks in advance.
