    Virus in Android applications

    i have just been through the BBC website and they have confirmed the there are viruses on the android market place the application contain miscellaneous code which are able to infect the android roms and are very harmful for the devices using android as their primary system and it is necessary to check the applications before installing them on the devices. how were these applications made available on the Google market and who so ever gets infected by these applications is Google responsible for those devices how can Google have been so irresponsible letting us believe that the android market has no such issues.

    the truth over this situation is that any system getting famous over time will have such issues i is happening with windows and the android is not an exception to this phenomenon. this is all because just like windows the android has also become very popular and such systems always end-up becoming targets this is why all the users who are using android must have an anti-virus application and remember to run the application from time to time this is the only solution. remember to be cautious before installing any application on your device there is no one safe from these kinds of application unless and until the be care full.

    there it is another example of the phrase impossible is nothing there are many hackers out there want to target personal data of the regular people there is no end to this if there is a system out there they are just gonna hack it may be out of curiosity or just for the fun of making it happen most of the times it is the programmer who is responsible for such misleads and now that they have come to know that it can be hacked there will be more accounts of such incidents happening all over soon but on the other hand when you compare all the others in the market with apple's ios or mac there are no such incidents come under the radar or i can say there has never been a hack of apple.

    i have used both lookout and Norton and i have come to a conclusion that lookout is much better in deleting malware on the android devices. they have been up-to date on the android market to protect against the viruses and i think that this software is the only shield we have come across yet the application tends to find the viruses faster and it works efficiently against threats the application is highly recommended if you are a hard core android user.

    there are Trojans which appear as normal applications at first but then these application are able to install themselves on the users device and when connected to the computer it seems to infect the users desktop and use it as per its developer intents it looks very real and is a very harmful application the people who come under its contact seem to get no idea of weather the application is a virus it is really bad as a users point of view how where these applications allowed on the android market is the real question.

    of all the systems which have gotten famous the Linux and apple's system are the only ones which have always made it through when you come to think of it why don't the hackers go after apple let Linux be aside it is the safest system on the planet apple is never a target of such user hacker interventions is it because when once discovered the bugs in the system apple does not waste any time and provides fast updates to fix the bugs on its system well for now its certain that only apple is able to keep their customers virus free.
