Many, if not we have heard the arguments of the opposition, said Android, Android is uncertain, and malicious software easier and more prone to infection in use, rather than security experience (regardless of your data and software the integrity of the device). But it is where they come from, why it continues, and is there a way to remove the sides of the argument and truth wrinkles, perhaps.
First, let's start with obvious: the origins of the wireless RF touch panel led dimmer. I would like to say, did not initially operating systems (mobile or desktop) is completely free from viruses and other malicious software / malware. Android, but is preferably compared to iOS and Mac OS in Windows, the statistics are compared to the two largest and collected to be recorded or, in any case, most any statistical data members. Android ecosystem for the user to know, is very open and sufficient knowledge and permission, and easy to replace. On iOS, but not because it is the way it is built is. Android's open-source start (someone can see and change on their own), and leave more liberalization, allows users to customize how their system (S) of the "master", but with all the freedom, there are drug addicts. Openness (or the existence of security vulnerabilities in general) will be abused for personal gain, or to simply damage people's (and remote "kill" device outside, so that it does not have a functional reason). IOS communities, users can install applications outside the App Store (easy), is not easy to install malicious programs or program / modify. The ability to pretend to disguise the actual application of malicious programs for Android attack, because some people just believe it, does not do much to install additional research or investigation. And because Android is open source hackers and users, hackers write more programs on this system, because the probability of infection compared, iOS (or in the Windows Phone operating system, which is very closed iOS is, but not as a statistical Professional) .
Next, consider the argument, why (and how) still exists, and is not fully (or partially, if you have reason to believe) accurate in their professional output. Android has more than the current iOS, Windows Phone operating system, or any smaller number of operating systems of today's global initiative to multiple devices, so the availability and access to more than the iOS operating system Android and Windows Phone operating system. And people will continue to write programs, good or bad, for equipment, some of which could allow the use of other features, misuse or theft of data and personal information, sometimes even check (if different from the past hacker programs for iPhone and iPad as a "ransom." ). Continue to demonstrate, according to its kind, the people make the reporting lines, there are still cases of infection Android operating equipment, and maintain a constant over time, while hackers of Windows, iOS, Mac OS, and so have sporadic, focused In time, as fast as the company is willing / able to do this constant software updates. Android will still be attacked and targeted attacks, if there is weakness, it will remain the priority among hackers, as long as there are more than iOS or Android active cycle (use, rather than just exist) any other mobile operating systems.
Why is it still exists as a point of interest (or hate, depending on your attitude) for mobile users, which is the same, the same type of error (s) is / are conducted statistical data in the assessment. Now, if you've seen Tim Cook gift WWDC on June 2, then you may have seen him improve installation / receive the latest versions of both iOS and Android (and iOS 7 Kit Kat, Samsung Galaxy S5 i9600 Case, respectively), with iOS 7 holds 89% of the accepted, and Kit Kat only 9%. This data is based on the number, and software version in the process of using the device. For reference in the June 2013, some of Apple announced that it sold 600 million iOS devices since the original iPhone launched in 2007, but a month ago, Google announced that there were 900 million Android devices start date. Math time! 600 000 000 89% 5.34 million yuan, 9 percent to 900 million, that is 81 million. Also believes that Apple will continue to support the direct support hardware for the first time after many years on the market, although Google is often neglected for 18 months, running Android device. Multiple body from past sales of Apple devices can have access to the latest software, and less physically Android devices to access the Kit Kat can also consider how Apple controls the hardware, software and software updates. Google makes the original "vanilla" in Android, which is Nexus device can be used, and provides software manufacturers who sent the device (or a carrier, then the equipment, according to the device and region) of the code, so It is not up to Google but almost everyone just Google updated equipment to Kit Kat which means that Apple is so much appreciation for the updated device, while Google is not to blame only outdated, and therefore less secure software. This also means that, Android has a larger attack surface display on-line (hackers, especially), and Apple in the face most of the cyber attacks shut the door. And why Android is already available in most malware / to attack it because it has run multiple devices around the world.
Hopefully none of it is particularly offensive to people who are hardcore Android, iOS's / Mac, Windows, or whichever fanboy / a fangirl / fanaticism, because it is not only conducive to straighten out some of the hose node from the eyes and ears of statistical data collection and statistical hearing. We hope that this will make you wiser and more aware of security and open closed Apple's software and Google, which is why the "uncertainty." Remember that "open" does not mean "dangerous" and "closed" does not mean "protection."
First of all, please let the editor. The second site around you, can you explain how Android is so easy to get, and then try to make excuses, the problem .. it is not a problem, people who know what they are doing, technical director and Android enthusiasts youngest child is what they want, because it is. Open and easy to use MOD. This freedom for those who think the Internet is a problem in a box somewhere for the elderly and people.
I do not think this article is not fanboyish people about misinformation about Android. Only 0.001% of the malicious software from playstore less than the actual damage to the equipment. Most malicious software applications from piracy and other illegal activities, if any, you almost safe. Google also has several levels of security, if you ignore the warning and the application of external resources, privileges and playstore If your device is malware his own fault.
Not to mention safer alternatives fan boy. If you think the general population will increase their permissions settings to help make leather protect stand cover for Samsung Galaxy Tab more secure insecure, I believe this is misleading. As long as the majority are not, then the entire operating system is still uncertain at present, it is damn insecure. This open-source system is the world's largest and Google should be responsible for the insurance is now.
