Another Android Vulnerability Found – Malicious Apps Could Disable Antivirus Apps


Another day, another Android “vulnerability.” If you thought installing an antivirus app on your Android powered smartphone would be enough to save you from infected apps, I have some bad news for you. Researchers over at Privateer Labs managed to come across a hole in Android that according to them, could allow for a malicious app to disable an installed antivirus app. The good news. Co-founder of Privateer also mentioned that the same vulnerability could also be used to disable the malicious app. Sounds weird, I know.
