Google today upgraded its Android security system, where users install applications in other channels other than Google Play, and the system will monitor the applications that will be installed and continue to monitor them after installation. Google began introducing the verify Apps (Validation application) feature in Android 4.2, but this feature only checks for the latest installed applications before it is dormant and is activated only when a new installation is applied. Because there are always new malicious code appears, during the installation can not be identified, so Google decided to update the Verify apps function, once found that the software suspicious behavior, will inform the user. The new version of Verify apps will provide users with continuous monitoring to see if the application contains malicious code or potential threats, to avoid malicious applications secretly run, improve security performance. This also means that Google will learn more about Android malware information, and the security of users will increase as they install applications. The Verify apps feature has been used more than 4 billion times and the validation warning effect is very clear, and fewer than 0.18% of users continue to install after receiving a warning. Google will update verify Apps by updating the Google Play service.
