Beijing time on 13 July, the technology news site ZDNet writers Steven von thurn nergal (Steven J.V, aughan-Nichols) published on Monday, it said, in order to Android device the use of user security, Google to clean up andros Market (Android Market) of malicious software.The following is the idea:

On Monday, the Mobile Internet Security company Lookout Mobile Security researchers found DuoZhong andros market in DroidDream variant malicious software. On the same day, the network safety equipment manufacturers Fortinet found a called the Zeus Trojan. Android bank hackBut this does not mean that Android vulnerable to malicious software attacks, in fact, Android is based on Linux development system, it not only has Linux system high resistance normal attack, also has the advantages of software must in the Dalvik (Google the design of your own Java virtual machine) running on advantage. This means that it is hard to malicious software running on Android devices in, even if it can run, will also be blocked in the virtual machine and cannot destroy any other applications.

But with apple's App than Google, Microsoft andros market like wasteland, users can't believe the download each application. Because Google for developers to andros market provide the application lacks enough, therefore, the examination of users download the application in the face when malicious software.

So, hackers have to do is to Google submit against program, and then release in the market, and two users download will test the safety for the job or not.

Android has so many malicious software only reason is Google even the basic safety audit all have no. I have no more to Google, just hope the requirements of application software test, in order to know the function of these applications, and access to the application of information. This is the most basic quality guarantee.

Now, if the user met malicious software, can pass to Report bad applications (Apps) page told how Inappropriate, but even these malicious Google applications are on the shelves, Google's track work is far from in position.

When users download applications from Google, there will be some doubt whether the application functions: and it's introduction, whether the application as will destroy the mobile phone system or whether it will steal the credit card password. And a lot of questions need to Google answer.
