This is the flip side of having Apple not OK everything in it's iTunes store. I know I was one of the people that disabled the security warnings to allow for downloads from places other than Marketplace.

Whilst that is true, it is no different from using a mac or a windows PC. You can safely download apps from places other then the marketplace but you just have to be a bit more careful when you do.

Do a bit of reasearch, only download apps you trust and from their official websites.

Oh I agree. I just don't think people think of their 'phones as vulnerable (and most people would have some kind of protection for their PC).
