For my modest opinion android is very particular but with comodo is very secure Kind regards

Yes, but the problem is, in the future, authentification with 2 factors (secret code+ random code send by sms) will be broken.

So in the future you must protect your computer AND your “superphone”

DrWeb provide already a free AV for Android for exemple and as the anrdoid market is growing very fastly (may be n°1 in 2012 market share in prediction) it can be good for comodo to make a free IS suite (the world first one) or AV for android.
