I often use my computer cause I can already do my stuff on my smartphone but my phone doesn't have security software unlike my computer. Should i be worried about this or its just another malware scare?

I hope this is not true cause I'm always downloading apps from the market.

based on what i've read, the apps are legit, and Symantec's in denial. as an end user, you'll end up more confused. who to believe.
