We have different gadgets that connects to the internet on daily bases and each are built with different facilities. They range from smartphones, iPhone, PC,lapors and desktops. Which among them can resist to virus attack the more?
 
I don't think any in particular can be considered to "resist to virus attack the more", then the other, it all depends
on how well one has the device secured, and security up to date.
I don't trust the smartphones, iPhone, etc very much, but it is mostly because I am not very familiar with them, and
what is needed to protect them.
To me, my laptops and desktop PC is the most secure, this is because I know what needs to be done to keep them that
way.
 
To be honest, I am not aware of viruses for smart phones. I use my phone for the internet more than I use the desktop which needs an anti-virus to be on the safe side. But my Samsung phone has no anti-virus because as I said, I haven't heard an issue of a phone being attacked by a virus.
 
Here is a search string :
security risks and viruses for smartphones
The problem is, most of the results are companies that want to try to convince you that you need to buy their security software, or ant-virus software, in other words it is convenient for them to try to convince you that your phone is not secure and could get infected with a virus.
Similar to MS windows, and the anti-virus software makers, it is BIG $$$, to not make a OS designed to be secure and safe from viruses, If it (the OS) was secure, the major security software and anti virus software companies would go broke, no one would need them.
Like wise, if yours, and 1, 000,000's other smart phone were perfectly secure/ virus protected,...
Here is 1 result, it does indicate that ""the Smartphones and tablets are also, for the most part, better designed than PCs to minimize the potential damage caused by viruses and other problematic programs.""
So I think you are probably right.
You can make your PC secure, and not be dependent on anti-virus software, simply by installing a more secure OS, however that would be another topic.
 
The best way to protect your gadgets from viruses is to install a registered antivirus for them.
