Rim-based Android operating system are more vulnerable to virus attack
Mobile operating system "Android" by Google is exposed to more viruses than that of Apple's iPhone. That determines the security company "Trend Micro." The reason for this is that, unlike Apple's locked garden, Android is open source system that allows hackers to learn and understand its architecture and the code it is built. While Apple has every application must be approved, Android programmers can develop freely and balance. "We have to give Apple credit for Zeerutm. It is impossible to put certain types of viruses into their system. They have a concept of 'isolation box, preventing certain viruses try to replicate themselves," said Steve Chang, chairman of the "Trend Micro." However, Apple machines are also completely immune - they are vulnerable to viruses manage to trick the user to remove questionable software and give her permission. Chang, the company he heads now sells security software smartphones, estimated that Android users will buy more such programs on their mobile devices. "Smartphones are the following personal computers, and when they are adopted by companies and organizations - loss of data would be a significant problem," he said. Android is now running about a quarter of the world's existing smartphones. Google addressed the issue by saying that "using any means computing depositing at least some of their information by application developers. Android has taken steps to inform users about these Trust and limit the degree of confidence that the user must give certain applications developer."
