[frail]

If you've downloaded (or are thinking about it) AVG antivirus app for WP7, you may want to check this out before you do:

From Neowin:

Since the release of AVG’s antivirus security suite for Windows Phone 7, a lot of controversy has come about over the software and its functions. Former Microsoft employee Justin Angel took apart the WP7 application and reported back through his Twitter account that the AVG app is in fact spyware. He found that the application tracks users through the geo location API (GeoCoordinateWatcher) and sends back unique information, such as phone model, users’ email addresses and location, to the AVG servers.
