Good News for Android users, Google's big move against
malware
Google has partnered with some cyber security companies to
reduce malware attacks on Android.
If you use Android smartphone, then many times your device
may have been victimized by malware attack. The day comes the news that many
apps have been found on the Google Play Store that steal your information.
These include malware, clickware, adware and dangerous ransomware.
Google has partnered with some cyber security companies to
tackle Android malware. It is being called App Defense Alliance. Under this,
smartphones can be protected from such malware attacks by detecting new threts.
Let us tell you that Google started Google Play Protect in
2017. Its main function is to scan the apps of Google Play Store. The company
claims that it continuously scans five lakh applications. However, so far,
malware has not been completely controlled on the Google Play Store.
The company is integrating its Google Play Protect Malware
Detection System into each of its partner scanning engines. This means that the
third party app can be tested better before bringing it to Google Play Store.
Google has partnered with ESET, Lookout and Zimperium under
the App Defense Alliance. Users will be affected by App Defense Alliance, as it
may reduce malware attacks on Android than before. However, it is not like this
that malware can be completely controlled.
Significantly, there are 2.5 billion Android users
worldwide. The company has said that because of this Android remains the
target. There are several ways in which malware is primarily targeted. In order
to deal with this, the company has removed many companies' apps from the Google
Play Store earlier.
