Recently 21 rogue apps started installing security holes in Android phones; Google had to wipe the apps from the Android Market and called the authorities to reboot. However, 50,000 copies were already downloaded, Google basically had to rehack into people's phones to install and ensure that important information could not be copied. Google used the Android's remote kill switch to delete the apps from the air. They are not just removing offending packages, but also installing new code. The "Android Market Security Tool March 2011" will be remotely added to affected handsets to undo the exploit and keep it from sending your data out, as well as make you wonder just how much remote control Google has over our phones.
Wow, this is very interesting, where is the privacy policy? I guess if you too worry about it,don't buy an android base phone.Go with apple, blackberry or window phones.Am happy , at least, we have option,other than Android.
