Får Google Play malware-scanner?

Adskillige tilfælde af skadelig software i Androids applikations-butik, ser nu ud til at få Google til at implementere en malware-scanner i tjenesten.

Efter frigivelsen af den seneste version af Google Play (version 3.9.16) er der blevet fundet oplysninger i applikationens kode der fortæller at Google kan være ved at lancere en funktion der scanner apps for skadelig indhold.

Tidligere har Google forsøgt at stoppe skadelig software på server-siden, men dette her kunne tyde på at selskabet vil forøge sikkerheden.

Kodens oplysninger tyder på at Google Play vil advare mod skadelige applikationer, og samtidig blokere for installationen af applikationen. Se den omtalte kode herunder og læs mere hos Androidpolice.com.
