IT Security public service announcement time: So far, the only viruses spreading on Android OS phones are being spread by third party applications. If you don't know what you're doing, you're dangerous if you're rooting to download third party apps and your phone carrier isn't going to help you fix it either.

ETA: Third party apps= apps found in places OTHER than The Market.

You can download 3rd party apps on most Android phones w/o rooting it. I think AT&T are the only ones who block that option (unless you root it.)

(And didn't Android have to remove some bad apps from The Market after all?)

Yes, they did end up removing some in March. I was thinking about the first one was from a third party app and forgot that they removed a bunch from the market too.
