On the day of what will undoubtedly be one of the biggest Android announcements of the year with the Samsung Galaxy S III, it could turn out to be a bittersweet day for Google, as it has been issued yet another reminder of the increasing number of malware plaguing its mobile OS.
Due largely to the success of the iPhone and subsequently, the iPad, Apple's increased wealth is becoming something of a spectator sport within the tech industry, and although Samsung has recently overtaken its fruit-loving rival in terms of smartphone market share, Apple's sales continue to rise through the roof - as does its bank balance.
We're drawing dangerously close to Samsung's announcement of its next Galaxy S device, and to its credit, the Korean outfit seems to have done a pretty stellar job of keeping things under wraps.
It's no big secret that cases of Android malware have been sharply on the rise, and as such, there are now various counter apps from security firms, all purporting to offer the best possible protection.
