Android OS will constantly monitor installed applications for malware

Recently, Google announced the introduction of a new security measure in the Android OS. For example, previously all applications downloaded to the Google Play Store were checked by the corporation for the presence of “malware”. In addition, it was possible to choose the option to check the applications installed on the user's smartphone.

Now it became clear that this was not enough, and the corporation decided to introduce a new security measure: monitoring applications installed on the mobile device in order to detect possible malware.

Now one of the options of the mobile OS allows you to install a permanent monitoring of installed applications. If "bad" applications are detected, the operating system will let the user know about it. The option is called Verify Apps, and is available starting with the version of Android 2.3.

Of course, there are also threats that no anti-virus application can handle. Well, for example, there is an application , “antivirus”, which cost $ 3.99, when paying for it was downloaded to the user's smartphone, and ... did nothing. That is absolutely nothing, neither harmful, nor useful, nor neutral :)

Well, there are a lot of malware. Despite, for example, the removal of the flappy bird from the playmarket, many clones appeared there, some of which are clearly not games. Now the user will be able to more or less carefully control the applications on his smartphone.
