There many free ways you can protect your mobile phone from viruses and malware. I don’t care if the guy you brought your phone from says you don’t need it. He likely doesn’t know you need it because he is more interested in selling you the phone. No scare tactics involved here, it’s just a smart thing to have. That is unless you like getting charge for premium SMS messages you didn’t send or want your Smartphone to end up as someone else’s bot… I personally use the free version of Lookout and have used it for a long time, but I make no claims of it being the best. Do some research on your own and choose the one you like the best.
