Default Mobile Phone Anti Virus

I was reading somewhere, that mobile phones will soon be targeted with viruses and spam type stuff.

And I was wondering, should I get something?
I use my T Mobile Dash a lot. I am always browsing and emailing on it.



Thanks

CF, checking my email, general google searching.

But the article said, they will be sent like spam emails... Like text form.
I am getting a few... Its from an email, sent as a text message, asking me to download something.


Thanks
