Security vendor finds that the integrated nature of smartphones makes them more vulnerable if attacked. Bitdefender senior e-threat analyst, Bogdan Botezatu, says Android is highly integrated, so when you get adware it is basically asking for permission to do anything on your device. On desktop PCs, the browser can not get access to installed applications such as Outlook and contacts in email clients, he said. BitDefender will soon be releasing Clueful for Android, which is a port of the same app that was released for iOS last year.”]
