Over the past year, the popularity of the Android system has led to a huge increase in the distribution of Android malware (see fig. 1).

 

This malware is mainly distributed in markets operated by third parties, but even the Google Android Market cannot guarantee that all of its listed applications do not contain any threats.

 

===> Users should no longer blindly trust all apps. <===

 

A large range of protection programmes that can help to identify dangerous apps and remove them from a user's device are now available.
