New smart phone user here. Is virus protection needed with a smart phone? If so any recommendations? Thanks, John

I use Zoner antivirus on a Samsung Tablet, HTC Inspire, and HTC ONE (android devices).
Zoner Antivirus
It is a free program/app like MSE, AVG, etc.
The antivirus is more than just virus protection. It has remote location, and remote deletion of information if phone is lost/stolen.
I also use a synchronized password Safe in Cloud, which synchronizes encrypted passwords between HTC Phones, 2 laptops and a tablet. I change a password on a phone, tablet, puter, the pw gets synchronized on all devices.
I paid $4.99 for the Safe In Cloud password app, inexpensive and a great app that works. Best four, ninety nine I have spent.
Are smartphones computers?, I can do everything my computer does, including banking, and printing, except playing DVD's or CD's, but movies and music can be played on the phone.
It's a receptacle for a lot of information. I'm going to protect it like I do my computers.
Do I need protection, helllsbellls, I'm not a geek, but I sure do feel better having it.
I'm going to do what I believe is best for me and mine, others can drive the way they choose.
Oh, phones also work great in making and receiving calls.
