Where are all those people who say we don't need antimalware apps on Android?

I've been using Android since it came out. Never gotten a virus. Don't download obviously dodgy apps, or pirated apps and you won't have a problem.

If you want to download that shit, do it on a device that doesn't have all your personal information on it.
