Could someone confirm what the permissions asked for from Google Play to download the AVG &nbsp;free virus software, am a little concerned by the &nbsp;permissions it is asking for. They seem to ask permission to send emails or texts without my knowledge, which seems very suspicious to me? Am I just being paranoid because I guess it needs to access all the areas that the virus might be getting into? This is what it is asking for permission to access:<br />
Storage, Messages, System Tools, Location, Personal Information, Accounts, Phone Calls, Network Communication. Is it even worthwhile doing on a mobile/cell phone?

A cellular phone (also known as a mobile phone, cell phone, hand phone, or simply a phone) is a telephone that can make and receive telephone calls over a radio link while moving around a wide geographic area by connecting to a cellular network provided by a mobile phone operator, allowing access to the public telephone network. Mobile phones that offer services such as text messaging, email, Internet access, business applications, gaming, photography and more general computing capabilities are referred to as smartphones.
