    Why do you need antivirus for your BlackBerry? There is not one known virus that can run on RIM’s BlackBerry OS. Getting an antivirus program for your BlackBerry is a waste of time, effort and money(if you pay for it).

    Some viruses are OS independent. To say that a virus could not affect the e-mail client program or any data files stored on RIM’s OS is the most naive and irresponsible thing to say. Don’t think that RIM would never become a target.

    Backups protect the data integrity and help recover lost data. At the same time it also backs up any viruses and make them available upon a restore.

    So data integrity and security do overlap, but they both need to be addressed.
