Google checks since some time, new apps in the Android Market come on malware. Also, new accounts of the developers are monitored for malicious apps to recognize. The service works fine, says Google.
Since the service Load apps to check for malware, the number of suspicious apps by 40 percent, says Google itself. Bouncer to check apps in Android Market are set to well-known types of malware, such as trojans and viruses. It is also considered whether newly-created ontwikkelaarsaccounts puffs display of deleted accounts of well-known malwaremakers. Both measures should prevent the malware in the Market appears.
The step differs from what Google has up to now did: apps in the Market were not checked until a report came in of malware. By the market is Android, however, rapidly becoming an attractive target for malwaremakers, which measures are necessary. Both Apple and Microsoft before apps in their downloadwinkels appear scans for malware. That strict control is also introduced to prevent malware.
Android is the mobile platform for which most malware is made. Google grip already several times in as apps with malware were reported. The apps were removed from Android Market and remotely removed from phones and tablets. There are still some differences between the approach that Google has that from Apple and Microsoft. So Google has no rules to pornographic content or copyrighted beschemde content to ward off the downloadwinkel.
