AVG, a popular free anti-virus company, is toting their wares on the Android market.

I really hate the cost models these companies put in place for individual non-business users. They already make so much damned money off of businesses.

I wouldn't buy it. Android is supposedly very secure and this seems somewhat overkill if even effective.
Settle down, cowboy. Android isn't as secure as you're making it out to be. Not at all, from what I've seen, done myself and read, trust me.

I just had an idea. What about "The Epic Android Thread"?

Thoughts?
This... I like a lot. A lot.

To answer your questions:
1) Yes this is an Android thread,
2) Yes this is one big fat Android thread,
3) You can let this information wash over you, and in doing so 'clean' yourself, if you so choose. So yes, this can be part of said 'cleaning process.'
