Apple's application stores and Android do muscle: Apple removes games copied, Google blocks malware entry
Apple's application stores and Google increase the filtering capabilities. Apple removed this week camps for several games designed to actually confuse users and cause them to pull them off fee instead of downloading the popular games they are looking for. Two prominent examples are the Temple Game Jump and Tiny Birds, whose names were deliberately misleading and aim to make gaming hunters Temple Run and Tiny Wings thought they had found their quarry. This trick worked pretty good game developers - imitations - Jump Temple game came high on the slopes application fee, before he shot off the store. These games are not just trying to confuse with a similar name, but also with very much the same game they imitate - that helps to confusion and potential error of the lowers. Now, as mentioned, Apple raises its level of filtering and allows more games of this type to enter the closed gene "her.
Meanwhile, Google unveiled the fact that it uses a security system in recent months called Bouncer to protect its apps store malware. Service applications and analyzing such signals it detects suspicious code in them, even before they emerge application store (not "closed garden" like that of Apple and enables direct upload into it). Now, any application developer trying to get to the store goes through a process which examined the presence of trojans, spyware and malware. Using the Bouncer already has a 40% increase in the number of detected malware in the second half of 2011. "Our systems improve malware detection and destruction every day," wrote Hiroshi Lokaeimer, vice president of development at Google, a post published on the subject.
