In fact, they have been mobilizing all their resources to create a system safe enough for us. However, as mobile security advances through time, so does the attackers. Their attacks are also evolving. These attackers are moving towards a more dangerous and advanced threats. What about antivirus? Should they be enough?

Some antiviruses work as post-incident medication. Just like medicine, some antiviruses need to understand the disease before curing it. Now, what if you get hit with something new?
