For smartphone users, losing a phone or contact information and personal data is more alarming to them than Web threat infections or phishing schemes, according to a recent Trend Micro survey of over 1,000 smartphone and iPhone owners 18 years and older. In fact, 44 percent of respondents feel that surfing the Internet on their smartphone (which may not be equipped with security software) is just as safe, if not safer, as surfing on their PC.

According to the survey, only 23 percent of smartphone users utilize security software already installed on their smartphone. One out of five respondents don’t think installing security software program on their phones would be very effective since, in their opinion, there is limited risk in smartphone surfing.
