Question

Do you think Android does have a serious problem with malware?

Answer 1

No. 

 

If you install apps only from Google Play, no problem. Now, if we want to hack and expose malware, go ahead.

Answer 2

If. I just installed google apps play, and I'm to the websites of applications that do not stop get VERY intrusive advertising, and others that do not stop put shortcuts to certain web pag, if this is not malware and google .... play.

Answer 3

I'm not agree with you. Working in phone and every few customers call complaining that they are active premium sms service caused by an application of google play. The shop is not perfect (if apple is so close that it is ever snuck over to) is not just for pirating. I always say the same thing, the best antivirus is your logic not download anything you are not sure.

Answer 4

From my point of view no. The reason is very simple, if you start downloading apps left and right without checking permits requested or the downloads from it then you get infected fialbes no regular sources. It's like with pcs, if you do not walk with feet of lead then do not be surprised. As I always said, the first malware to a device or the user's PC. Not that you ever infectes, but since you take a 90% chance of becoming infected. It's like someone out in the street in winter ball and then chopped surprised he has a cold of copon.

Answer 5

Yes, Android has a big problem , but not just with malware, but generally shit on Play Store.

 

I do not speak poorly designed applications or useless apps ( which once was criticized both for iOS and now look where it have come ) .

 

I'm talking about apps that you bought mobile advertising in the notification bar , when you open the browser, open certain apps, and other apps need to clean the shit in the mobile ... And all this can be downloaded from Google Play.

 

Without going any further , another day comes a colleague and asks me to help you with your Mobile ( SGS2 ) that came out announcements by all the mobile sites and asked not to .

 

I'll look at the phone and really, what more Android seemed to be damn IE6 and bars.

 

I was looking to see if the option to install apps outside the market was on, to my surprise NO! .

 

I wonder who had it installed , and pointing me 3 or 4 apps that were recently installed , looking a bit on the phone, I find not a few downloaded apks ( probably because the browser would not know what page) but they could not install so called mobile enabled installing apks .

 

All this because of a lowering of the Play app store , neither more nor less .

 

And do not give me , " But the user has to take more responsibility , can occur, and bla bla bla " Never gentlemen, this can not happen! If you come and tell me, the app was not installed on the other hand I keep quiet , but this was installed from the Google Play, and if Google can not guarantee a minimum of security in his shop , snack bar closed and go.

Answer 6

There are plenty of programs on living playstore advertising. They say in their description and ask permission like "start at the beginning", all fully or at least fairly transparent. There are even some that you start and ask you for permission to put this advertising, sometimes it's just a start icon and advertising within the app. No, I have my s2 clean, and have come to install the crap off without problems, so do not think that advertising will be a problem. As for malware, that is another topic for another day

Answer 7

Yep, Android can be installed on a diverse number of devices and the number of activations increasingly record bat. This is why it has the full attention of these people called pirates, hackers, crackers ... This is compounded by the fragmentation of Android, I understand that hardware device can not be upgraded to the latest version but you must have security updates for the 2.3.x branch and the 4.0.x branch to prevent security breaches and not leave these devices in compilations of these versions of over 1 year and may have security flaws. While receiving the same version of Android the update is responsible for closing these bugs (in kernel or driver thereof), as well as updating internal ROM Apps. This is what Google should be required and you do not, and this will go over each year.

Answer 8

I think if that's the karma they have to carry all the popular OS, within the millions of people who use it can not miss the hackers, it is impossible

Answer 9

Considering that almost everyone I know has an Android tel:, and no one I know has had problems with malware ... I would say the problem is not important.

Answer 10

In my experience, I do not think that Android suffers from large hardware problem because I have used several terminals, both from different companies and different versions of Android, and so far I have not encountered any problems related to this. However, my close friends have had unknown system problems have been resolved but that a simple factory reset.

Answer 11

if. as being an android operating system by many. a premium and very famous, not only for normal users who just want their phone to read emails or play, this is also much loved by hackers because they know how valuable it is, the more people use it, more desired is by hackers to steal our information, the more fame but fame has a system will also contain much malware

Answer 12

I guess if you just use the known applications and not wrong bajándote one similar to the original that contains malware name you will be fine. But I had a bad experience getting off applications to use USB OTG memories for my tablet, because two days later I received a notice from Gmail by an attempt to enter my mail from a phone that had never used an IP from China, Luckily Google blocked it.
