Android Trojan Can Spy On Your Calls

[Jonas]

It is always recommended to have a logical decision making before allowing an app to have certain permissions. Once the malware is installed in the victim device, it drops a “configuration” file that contains key information about the remote server and the parameters.

i don't like to use anti virus apps on my phone. it drains out so much battery.what about the google security patch/app that was released?google can update that regularly.

I have installed lookout mobile security and most of the apps I use/download are very popular. Safest deal I guess.

I Install only those apps which have good review from majority of users ... also have a look at the reviews a bit..

 

[dovahkiin]

it depends what apps you install, even one with good reviews have fun very bad feature, some turn on your camera, mic, without you knowing it, some even turn on the gps if it is off and send back data to remote server in short a smart phone is a smart bomb

You can stop using android Market, instead start using Amazon android app store, as they don't approve apps without proper checking---- Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Amazon app store is a piece of shit. officially, they are only catering to the US market. and app developers are hating them because they offer their apps at much lower price and even free in some cases. you are not going to find all the apps there.
