Looks like an antivirus firm called Panda Security has found malware on a HTC Android phone that they recently received from Vodaphone. Now I know most of use are in the US and don’t purchase from Vodaphone, but I think this is still interesting and makes me a little curious on what the creators of the malware might have in store for the rest of us. Could this problem be a global problem soon? Could we soon all need to use antivirus software on our Android devices? Here’s some of what CNET has reported on the issue-

“Today one of our colleagues received a brand new Vodafone HTC Magic with Google’s Android OS,” researcher Pedro Bustamante wrote on the Panda Research Blog on Monday.

“The interesting thing is that when she plugged the phone to her PC via USB, her Panda Cloud Antivirus went off, detecting both an autorun.inf and autorun.exe as malicious,” he wrote. “A quick look into the phone quickly revealed it was infected and spreading the infection to any and all PCs that the phone would be plugged into.”

Sony Ericsson’s X10 looks almost too good to be true on paper – aside from the version of Android it ships with, 1.6. With a Gig of internal storage, 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, 4″ 480 x 854 screen, and SE’s Nexus UX (I hope they rename this), it is certainly set to hang with the top Androids on the market. However, when I got to play with one in a private meeting at CES, I was disappointed by a non-responsive screen that felt cheap and even plasticy. Then again, those were running 1.5 and the units out on the show floor, which I did not see, were running 1.6 and inspired a positive reaction from everyone I spoke with about them. Time will tell. I hope I’m wrong about the lackluster touch screen. Looks like I may have called one detail pretty early on though. Video after the break…
