Need of anti-virus on BB DTEK50?

Hi,

I use a the DTEK app on my KEY2 so don't feel I need an AV, but I am more careful on sites visited using the KEY2. Am using Kaspersky on my desktop, of which I have no complaints. But a friend who is presently refering his AV needs has a DTEK50 and is wondering if he should consider it for his smartphone? I presume he should be the same, but need some added enlightenment...

Anti-virus is useless without root access.

Hi Conite, Do I translate that in saying that not only BB10 phones but also all of the BB phones (including Android versions) that use DTEK do not permit root access?

Yes av is useless without root access... but you can root blackberry phones it's very hard and blackberry guardian stopped working the first time I tried.

You found a way to root a BlackBerry Phone and it worked... or you bricked your phone?
