Mobile security is becoming more common theme in the tech world. People join various free wireless networks wherever they are, without thinking about the consequences. Also visit various internet sites of questionable safety and download applications that are not verified.
There are two ways you can install the application on your phone: from specialized marketd and other locations on the Internet. Specialized marketis can be considered as some kind of official (safe) place to download applications. This is because specialized stores scans each application before it is available to users at all. So if an application contains a virus it will not be listed on the store. Some studies have shown that only 0.5% of infected applications coming from this source. Besides the operating system on the smartphones also scans when installing the app from store so that you have the protection that is automatically updated with each new version of the operating system.
