Abstract :
Why haven´t smartphones been overrun by a deluge of viruses the way PCs have? According to researchers at Northeastern University, in Boston, these phones have been safe because no single mobile-phone operating system has achieved a big enough market share for a major virus outbreak to occur. But that could change.
