One of the new features Android 4.2 - checking installed software from third-party sources for safety. It became known before the release of the latest version of the OS, the application of the leaked Google Play. This
was the second step of the search giant is on the way to anti-malware
software on the platform (the first was the introduction of a mechanism
Bouncer, inspection applications in Google Play). But how effective the new system of checks from Google?
Syuysyan Jiang (Xuxian Jiang), professor at the State University of North Carolina and well-known expert on mobile security, decided to conduct a practical experiment to determine the effectiveness of malware scanner for Android by Google. For this he took in 1260 examples of infected applications, Nexus tablet 10 with Android 4.2 installed and all malicious software device.Imagine his surprise when the scanner is recognized only 15.32% of malware, though samples were taken quite common and Google just had to know about them. For better understanding: The scanner found only 193 applications in 1260.Volume unidentified malware obviously small Syuysyan Jiang commented on the situation: "The mechanism is very fragile and easy to get around." He also was unhappy with the fact that the test is easy to turn off, even though it is enabled by default. Indeed, for this you need only go to the security settings.While Google is making enough effort to ensure the safety of users Android, which set the application to bypass Gogole Play. However, the economic model of the entire system is just tied to the company store apps, so check to Play Store is the company in the first place.
