ANC Future Perfect: Mobile Malware 3/5

Experts see no letup in the growing trend of mobile internet usage.
In fact, an analyst at Morgan Stanley says they expect mobile data traffic to increase by almost 4-thousand percent by 2014.
Thanks to such handy devices as the iphone, android phones and tablets...
More and more people are going online, without being stuck in front of their desktop computers.
The growth of mobile internet usage also comes with a growth in e-commerce.
Even here in the Philippines...
Mobile payments are slowly gaining ground.
Internet use thru mobile devices is most widespread in Asia.
But is this more secure than logging on and browsing via your desktop?
Not necessarily.
Early this month, web giant google had to remotely turn on a kill switch...
That removed dozens of malware-infected apps from about 260-thousand android phones.
