Which Android Antivirus Should You Use?

Even though Google now is reviewing every single apps that going to be available on Market or Google Play, there are still huge amount of malware apk that being distributed outside of Market/Google Play. The best practice is to install apk from reliable source(s) only, another method is to install antivirus, but which one to use?

According to AV-Test.org, an independent IT-Security institute from German, there are only 3 out of 41 antivirus apps that are really doing the job:
F-Secure Mobile Security [€29.95]
Kaspersky Mobile Security (Lite) [free]
McAfee Mobile Security [7 days trial, US$29.99]



Looks like Kaspersky Mobile Security (Lite) is best choice from the list. However it is still depend on your own preference. This is just a suggestion only.

Free trojan in your game!

This game "3D Anti-terrorist" was posted at many PPC forum recently. It claimed to be the best 3D shooting game on PPC because of the etc etc etc. Luckily I didn't dl and try it on my PPC, because it actually contains ghost dialer Trojan! At specific time, it will get your phone to dial some international numbers. Your phone bill will sky rocket!

Folks at XDA forum start to notice that not too long after this game was posted. Among some numbers the Trojan dialed was:
+88213213214
+1(767)503-3611
+25240221601

What if you have installed it?

1. Uninstall it and delete it.
2. Install antivirus to remove the Trojan:

• AirScanner
• LookOut ( Free )
• Kaspersky Mobile Security
• Symantec Mobile AntiVirus
• F-Secure Mobile Security
  

Some of them provide free trial for a limited period, use them to remove the Trojan!

Good luck!
