I do recall Apple trying to say that Android was so unsecured and more at risk to these security threats than Apple at one point in time.
Luckily for BlackBerry, Android and Windows Mobile users there is an app called Lookout to take care of this.
Antivirus
Block viruses & malware
Scans every app downloaded
Backup
Contacts, photos, call history
Access data online
Phone Finder
Locate phone on map
Activate alarm to find it
I wonder if Apple won’t allow this one through their walled garden for apps. You know, cause they are so “secure” and what have you.
I would be interested in seeing the source of Apple saying Android was insecure and how it relates. Apple focuses on preventing bad apps from getting on the phone in the first place rather than create the demand for software developers to create apps to pickup the slack. As for anti-virus specifically, both McAfee and AVG have showed interest in bring their products to the iphone.
I hate seeing iPhone and Android compared all the time when there are more differences and intentions between them. Having one phone and putting down the other phone just proves that they are different and you are satisfied with what you have. Move on. At least I know that Apple would rather focus on innovating then spend time comparing.

NUKE IT FROM ORBIT of the Day: Actroid-F, an ultra-realistic android developed by Japanese roboticist Kokoro, was publicly unveiled in Tokyo this week.
With too-humanoid-for-comfort facial expressions, and her assigned role as inpatient caretaker (presumably to provide comfort and security), Actroid-F is proof positive of our impending demise.
