@dafyre I agree that Kaspersky has been getting a bad rap due to the politics of the day . Plus the extras you can get with your higher packages including patch management and light MDM is actually pretty cool. A shame.

It’s coincidental. Not visiting them

Both iOS and Android have sandboxing features that prevent malicious code from running. Android, of course, lets the user run it anyway if they give that app permission. I think iOS has something similar but they have a pretty decent app store that prevents that type of thing, unlike Google. I am an Android guy by the way. I'm not convinced it's necessary either, but I believe I was infected and now I'm all paranoid. One security research firm (I don't remember the name I'll have to look) went through the Google App store and downloaded as much malicious stuff as possible. They found that unless the application is given permission, which means a user has to allow it, then it really can't do anything on the system. If the user allows it then, obviously, the malicious code was able to execute and do it's thing. That's exactly what creeps me out about Android - why does everything need permissions to stuff you wouldn't expect it to use. I fear the answer is "to slurp your data". Which is garbage. However the app won't run without it. Example: "Samsung Briefing" which is a news aggregator - asks for permission to save to disk, phone, etc etc The newest version of Android took a cue from iOS and now lets you be more judicial with app permissions. Haven't been able to play with it yet. in what way? I don't see a way to prevent, for example, Skype from using my camera but allowing it access to the network and microphone. Do you have Nougat? I could have sworn that was one of the selling points. Where you give permissions like that on an as needed basis. So you could very well prevent skype from accessing the camera but allow it to access the microphone. It may not work as expected but...

@Dashrender said: MS is finally making Enterprise look like a more worthwhile upgrade, but damn.. still just more money to spend. That's the Windows world. Commitment to paying for all the little features. Great stuff, but the cost to "do things the Windows way" gets really expensive. And doing anything else leave you without the benefits of the ecosystem that money is being invested into.
