If you are downloading pirated apps from the chinese market (Not the Android Market, mind you), You enable installing applications from non-market locations, you don't check what permissions that applications is asking for, and you allow it to access your text messages through permissions requests, then you deserve what you get. Again, Virus on Android threats are over blown. I guess look out is trying to stay relevant.
