Mobile OSs Jelly Bean 4.1.1 vs. iOS 6

[Bahroo]

Did you read those articles?

One says it will hit Apple and to not jailbreak your phone.
How do you feel about it now?


The last one says "Google has 86ed the software from its official store",

and

"a quick search found that both apps remained available through different app stores".


So it looks like your claim that it is all in Googles play store is not accurate.
There is problems in both places. Not as much on Apples app store but to say there is nothing....you are wrong and are just putting your head in the sand.

Anyways, enough of this nonsense. If your scared of these things, dont have a smartphone.

All it says is that Apple is a future target for cyber criminals, obviously, iOS is a huge platform, whos to say Apple wont ramp up their security even more?

And okay your right im not scared of malicious app because i have a iOS device, no malware here...on Android though there is 175,000 malicious apps, thats a BIG majority of the Play Store. There has been absolutely no news on malware being in the Apple App Store...

Why do you keep claiming there is malware on the Apple App store, like i said the VERY FIRST malware ever found in the Apple App Store was in July 2012 and it was a report talking about finding the first malware app ever on the App Store. and it was one app that Apple removed the same day. How long has iOS been out for? About 6 years or so and they find the first piece of malware ever in July 2012, 6 years later. And yes im aware jailbreaking your iOS device makes your device more prone to malicious code because jailbreak apps/ tweaks etc. have no association with Apple. Im talking about stock OS

And lastly, it didnt mention iOS once in that last article, those apps dont exist on the App Store, not once did it mention the malware was on the iOS app store too, do you even read the articles or you just skim through them? Like I said, Apple screens and tests every single app submitted to the App Store, there is a extremely SMALL chance of malware hitting the Apple Store, there is absolutely no screening or testing for Android apps

God its like im talking to a wall I swear you still cant accept the fact..shame


The first ever piece of malware ever FOUND on the iOS app store was found, that was in July 2012, and Apple removed that app the same day. Now compare 1 malicious app that has been removed from the App store on iOS devices compared to the active 175,000 malicious apps that are on the Play Store

http://m.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2189908/apple-app-store-malware-kaspersky


Hmmmm 1 app(which has been removed by Apple the same day it was launched) vs 175,000 active malicious apps on the Play Store...hmmmmmmm

Who is to say Google wont? They already got rid of the one you said was scary.

And okay your right im not scared of malicious app because i have a iOS device, no malware here...on Android though there is 175,000 malicious apps, thats a BIG majority of the Play Store. There has been absolutely no news on malware being in the Apple App Store...

You are like talking to a stubborn kid, lol. There is malware and has been reported. Not as much but it has been reported.

And i dont believe those numbers in that article. Where is the evidense besides some amateur writer saying so? Not one app named and not one person i know of had one.

Why do you keep claiming there is malware on the Apple App store, like i said the last news on malware in the Apple App Store was 222 days ago, and it was one app that Apple removed the same day.

Because there has been. and it comes back. It isnt as bad but it exists.

and will be more of them.

These were probably before you had a smartphone but it will come back and im only posting a few. Just know that it exists is all. There was sombody that posted he got two virus' from apps before. It could happen at anytime. I wouldnt be afraid of it but you might.

Trend Micro, a very well known software company reported the research, if you never heard of Trend Micro before then i feel bad for you.

Sure I believe there are exploits in iOS code, but its extremely difficult to find them and exploit them, im talking about malicious apps on each OS's App store.

And that last link you linked me doesnt affect iOS at all, only Windows so what was the purpose of linking that article, that malware could never affect iOS and it never did affect iOS ever. Im talking about malware on the App Store that can AFFECT YOUR DEVICE.

All that guy did in November 2011 was expose a security flaw in iOS, that app never harmed anyone and he was just trying to show that there was a big exploit in iOS(which Apple fixed a LONG time ago)

Okay so compare 2 malware apps that have been found on iOS ( which both have been removed) compared to the active 175,000 malicious apps on the Play Store. You tell me which one sounds much safer, the answer is obvious. Common sense, which isnt so common these days, ...sigh


The point is thay iOS is tons safer then Android thats all

It affects windows thru the app store. Which means, there is malware in the app store. I sure wouldnt want it on my windows but then, i dont go there with my PC. Only the Mini which i dont use as often as the Nexus 7.

And i said there isnt as much for Apple, but it does happen. And i still dont use a virus app on my phone becaus i dont need it. I read things first. Just like ive never been duped on eBay like others here have reported.

Sorry, your giving me a headache. Time to go talk to some adults.

I really feel very bad for you if you believe everything a company that sells anti virus software said about severity of virus threat.

i still cant believe your refuting the fact that there has been about 3-4 total malware apps that have been founded (and removed) in the whole six years of iOS history compared to the 175,000 active malicious apps in the Play Store.

Unreal...

lol wait what? im sure some of the numbers may be a little exaggerated but there not lying at all, its a very serious problem and the fact that there can be up to a million apps on the Play Store in 2013 that can potentially be malicious is extremely terrible. Trend Micro apps are free on the Play Store so i dont see why they would really be "lying" to get more customers on board, that article is talking about mobile, not PC btw...

they also said apple environment is more at risk because apple doesn't allow them to make an anti virus for ios.

so based on your line of argument can we now conclude ios has a worst virus problem. case closed. lol.

 

[Bahroo]

because iOS has built in virus protection features? it has less exploits then Android? it is a more closed OS then Android? maybe you misread what i wrote, but that is defitnetly not what i said...common logic says that the more closed off a OS is, the safer it is.

in no where did that article say the Apple enviorment is more at risk because Apple doesnt allow them to make a anti-virus for iOS... why are you making things up? all it said was that in the future Apple and other companies will have to work closer to their partners to ramp up security.

obviously if Apple doesnt improve on there OS security, problems will occur, fortunetly that is not the case and will never be because Apple is always patching and updating the security on iOS.

iOS's enviroment has never been threatened because Apple doesnt allow anyone to make a anti virus for their OS, that is complete rubbish, and that doesnt even make sense at all

im done... compare only 3 to 4 total founded pieces of Malware on the iOS app store (which has been removed a long time ago) compared to the ACTIVE 175,000 malware apps on the Play Store. hmm 3 vs 175,000 apps... hmmmmmmmmmm gee gosh i wonder which App store is safer...

why should I listen to your argument and not a anti virus software company when concerning detrimental points on ios? you are being a hypocrite.

Which is BS. That would be a big percentage of the total, apps in the store. I know of no one who had a virus and doubt you do either.

Does ANYBODY know ANYONE who has had a virus or malware on Android?

I should write a BS article as well and post it so these amateur sites can run with it. If they had any credibility, we would see some apps named at the very least.

With 175,000 so called infected apps, you would think it would spread easily. But maybe, this is all related to China for which, once again ...we dont have to worry here. I guess that is hard to understand.

Majority of people dont realize that they even have malware on there phone, a virus is a different story, Malware and a virus are completly different things. effects would be stronger from a virus but malware can go completly undetected by the average user. Its not a BS article, there was reports saying that malware was up 570% on the Play Store back in June... That goes hand to hand with the research provided by Trend Micro, who cares who writes the article its about who is providing the research and proper information

How are you gonna say Trend Micro is not a credible source, obviously thats where the information was provided from, a well established virus protection software company. Just stop because now your being completly ignorant, if your going to have a argue with someone, present your self and your "facts" in a better manner. Im done responding to you, your still refuting the truth, if you want to ignore the truth, then so be it

I care. I like credible sources. I suppose you read things from The Bleacher Report too and believe that BS? There are many sites that anyone can write on, including Wikipedia.

Trend Micro sells anti virus protection. Should we really believe what they say? 175,000 apps? Really? I call BS. Oh look, here is some now. Protect yourselves people!!!
And if you read closely, it sure sounds like Kaspersky created that malware on Apple. Russian Anti virus protection company.

Hey, heres a tip. Dont ship your things to Nigeria either.

Im done responding to you, your still refuting the truth, if you want to ignore the truth, then so be it

Thank you. Please dont respond. In fact, please stop posting in this thread. You are clearly an iFan who sees what he wants to see, is a hypocrite and has his own agenda.

Good luck to you and your totally tweaked Iphone 5.

There is a HUGE difference between malware and viruses, like i said a good majority of Android smartphone users wont realize they have malware on there phone because it so subtle and does its dirty work undercover. Obviously you will be able to tell there is a virus on your phone but you wont be able to tell that there is malware on your phone.

Why are you mentioning something Apple fixed the same day the problem rised? Im pretty sure Apple has done a splendid job of not letting malware and viruses to the App store considering only 3-4 apps have been found with malware in the whole 6 years of iOS history. Now compare that to the 175,000 ACTIVE malicious malware apps on the Play Store. So now what your gonna deny Trend Micro's reports? Trend Micro isnt the only company to report malware on Play Store, there are countless other sources and news all constantly talking about malware on the Play Store and its threats

Im not a iFan.. I actually like Android devices and i respect what they bring to the smartphone industry, but dont deny what is true. A more closed off OS )iOS will always be much safer then such a open OS like Android, thats just software man. Maybe if Google screened and tested submitted apps before there uploaded to the Play Store would eliminate just about every malware and virus from reaching the Play Store. Obviously Google not doing that is having serious reprocussions.

Theres a reason why Google is slowly closing off the Android ecosystem and Google finally making their own first smartphone shows that they want more control over their OS and the total experience overall

And i will, enjoy your terribly reflective pentile Samsung Galaxy s3 screen and all its wonderful glory.

They sell anti virus protection. You know, like Apple sells Macs and has commercials saying PC's suck? Yeah, im saying a anti virus company will tell you to you need protection and yet dont give any facts or name any infected reported apps. Just some farfetched ridiculous number which would be 25% of ALL the apps in the play store. BS

Believe what you want Mr Gullable. 175,000 apps.....LMAO...OK. Show me some concrete evidence that is true. You havent done anything but show me a anti virus company tell us 25% of all apps in the playstore are infected but name not one of them. So YOU name me one. Name ONE active app from that number of 175,000 and give proof. Should be a list you would think if it is such a problem. And your right, there are other sources saying that as well and some show Micro Trend as the source of where it came from.
Imagine that.

AVG reports ROM Manager as malware.
A lot of legit root apps get reported as malware, which I'm sure make up a lot of those 175,000.

Heres another report for you, October 2012

http://thenextweb.com/google/2012/10/25/in-one-year-android-malware-up-580-23-of-the-top-500-on-google-play-deemed-high-risk/

"more then 175 million downloads have been in the Top 500 section in the Play Store and the top 500 section has been deemed high risk"

23 apps from the Top 500 section have been deemed "high risk"

And ROM manager has been around for years and there is nothing wrong with it.

Exactly!

Most Antivirus programs flag legit root apps as malware. This leads to those inflated malware numbers.

Okay im going to be generous and say there is about 50,000 root apps and other things associated with rooting, the number is still around 125,000. Thats ALOT..you guys are failing to mention that the Play Store has alot of duplicate apps which increases the number

Heres another report for you, October 2012

http://thenextweb.com/google/2012/1...-the-top-500-on-google-play-deemed-high-risk/

"more then 175 million downloads have been in the Top 500 section in the Play Store and the top 500 section has been deemed high risk"

23 apps from the Top 500 section have been deemed "high risk"

Interesting that these titles are so misleading. Again you didnt read it.

Here is some of it:

Most Android users get their apps from the Google Play store, and this figure was put together after scanning “1.7 million apps found on 175 marketplaces worldwide.” Furthermore, the raw numbers are as follows: 4,951 malware samples last September to 28,707 malware samples last month.

Percentages are most useful when the numbers are comparable in the first place; Android is a relatively new platform, so naturally malware numbers are skyrocketing due to (in a large part) the growth in total app numbers. Here’s a new figure to demonstrate my point: 1.69 percent of all Android apps out there, the majority of which are not on Google Play, are malicious.

What I’m trying to emphasize here is that most malicious and risky apps aren’t even on the Google Play store to begin with, so most users won’t download and install them.


Look man, i dont doubt that there are some problems with some apps. But you keep trying to tell me that these problems persist in the Google Play Store and i keep showing you that you are wrong.

China has a big problem. Not the USA Google Play store. Of that so called 175,000 active infected apps, it just flat looks like the majority of them ARE NOT in the Google play store.

Thanks for providing the proof. I dont know what else to say. You are wrong about your claim about the play store and you do not need a anti virus program to use apps there. You can because they are free or you can pay if your scared but it you dont need to have one period. I dont and never have.

There have beena couple apps that have pushed ads on your phone which is annoying but you can get the app, Air Push detector and it finds those and deletes them and you dont have that issue anymore. But those arent viruses. Just a handful of apps trying to throw you ads on your homescreen.

And above, i just showed you that you are wrong. Still you have no concrete evidence. Just some articles that you didnt read hoping it would back you up but they dont.

I guess you failed to read the first part of the article

"Furthermore, more than 175 million downloads of ‘High Risk’ apps were found in Google Play’s Top 500."

Im sure not all those downloads are solely completly outside the US and not including the US.

Thanks for showing you that Android has very little security and that there is alot of malware on the Play Store? I guess your welcome?

"The 175 million downloads figure is thus worrying, but then again we are talking about Google Play’s most download apps, so it’s bound to be big (as TrustGo notes, “popular” doesn’t mean “safe”). Yet I dug deeper to find out how many of the top 500 apps were actually deemed High Risk: it turns out it’s just 23. That’s nothing to scoff at, but looking at things through a percentage lens, it turns out we’re just talking about 4.6 percent – which will certainly affect some."

I read it. But 23 is a lot less than 175,000...lol.. Im showing the big picture because you keep posting "175,000 ACTIVE apps". And you are wrong.

Pleas stop, you are a broken record and have nothing to bring of substance. You dont have an Android device so why do you care? It clearly isnt as bad as you say...er, are hoping. Goodbye.

Going on ignore.

lol ? all that was talking about was the top 500 section in the Play Store, it didnt talk about the whole Play Store, there is much more then 23 malicious apps on Play Store, the Play Store is not regulated by anyone.

LOL? i only use trusted tweaks from Cydia, there is plenty safe tweaks and apps on Cydia. Im not talking about the jailbreak, im talking about Apple's own App store and Google's own Play store. thats the comparison here.
