hmm, it also mentions completely disabling 3rd party software sources, and not downloading stupid things from forums. If you're developing for android, you're going to install your own APKs from sd card. Even if you "don't install other apps" that way, you're still "leaving the vector open" by leaving the system setting on, apparently? Also, if you want to upgrade the OS or kernel on some of the cheaper phones, you'll need to use cyanogenmod, and usually a custom version hacked together by randomers on forums. My (cheap, spare) droid runs a bootloader and OS which is the result of collaboration between a Chinese guy, a British guy and other developers from "the internet". You do have to join the forums, talk to people a bit, and read up on the feedback these users get when they post new ROMs though, I'll admit... Maybe I'll install one of these free AV apps and see if they can find anything! :)
