Google Android may be the most popular mobile platform today, but it is definitely not the most secure as security researchers discovered new vulnerabilities every other day. Cheetah Mobile Security Research Lab stumbled upon a trojan malware, Ghost Push on 18th September which has since evolved into multiple variants.

According to Cheetah Mobile Security Research Lab, Ghost Push is a project headed by an illegal mobile marketing industry involving vast operations and several vendors. As of 8th October, more than 900,000 Android devices running versions 2.3 to 5.1 in over 116 countries are infected with the trojan malware and the virus developers are said to be making at least US$4.05 million dollars every day!
What made Ghost Push so dangerous is the fact that it can bypass security measures implemented by Google for the Play Store and other third-party app stores. It hides itself in some popular apps such as Talking Tom 3 and once downloaded on the device, it gains full root and control which allows the virus developers to push app downloads without the consent of the user.

While these infected apps have since been removed from the Google Play Store, Cheetah Mobile Security Research Lab warns that Ghost Push is very hard to be removed from infected devices. The firm has since developed a special security tool to remove the trojan malware and its variants and is available for you to download on the Google Play Store.

Why are Ghost Push Trojan so dangerous?

Unlike Trojans we met before, Ghost Push Trojan will install lots of other viruses that are very hard to remove from your phone, and will do things like leak your mobile data, send SMS messages to premium numbers, steal your private information, or even damage your device. More seriously, you can deactivate your Android device administrator without your permission, which means you cannot uninstall the virus after that.
(Note: You need to ROOT YOUR PHONE before using Ghost Push Trojan Killer to kill the trojan as it has gained the system-level access to your device. ) (Oh dear! To use this anti-virus, u still need to learn how to root your device! Truly an idiotic Android system! )

Android vs iOS is the Windows vs Mac OS conundrum all over again. Open platform: more popular, more software, more flexibility, greater choice of hardware, poor integration of apps and OS, more bugs and viruses. Proprietary platform: Less popular, less software, less flexibility, less hardware, seamless integration of apps and OS, more secure.

You can't have your cake and eat it.

It's simple.

For phone - get iPhone
For a proper work-purpose laptop - Gets Windows
For looking cool in Starbucks - Get Mac

I disagree. Having used a Mac for 15 years, I'd say the Mac trumps the Windows PC any day in ease of use, intuitiveness, software integration. Plus the hip factor. Most of the features you see on today's Windows came from Mac – Microsoft has always been playing catch-up with Apple.

On the other hand, I prefer Android's functionality and flexibiity, plus the free apps (most iPhone apps are paid). Not to mention the availability of many mid-priced phones with high-end specs rivalling/surpassing the iPhone. The iPhone is simply overpriced, IMO.

But am using an iPhone to allow me to sync my e-mails, photos, contacts and notes with my MacBook.

What about microshit phones? The mobiles seem to be getting better n got cool features n only 3 % usage so no cheats will develop malware yet
