I am new to Android, a week to be precise and only noticed this thread late last night. After reading this thread it' got me rather worried. Since having my Desire i have downloaded no more than probably 15 apps.

These are some of them:

Handcent SMS
Earth live wallpaper
plasma live wallpaper
Subsrate live wallpaper
flying balls live wallpaper
matrix live wallpaper
AK Notepad
Opera Mini 5
Coin Flip

Does anyone know if most of these are trusted apps, and going by part of the title of this thread if my phone got a virus how would i be able to tell?

EDIT: Can anyone tell me if the 'seeds of life' wallpaper app is safe at all?

Thanks
