A year ago, Lookout started flagging adware on Android. Today, Lookout says that adware is still out there but that things are improving.
Speaking to SecurityWatch, Lookout product Jeremy Linden was unequivocal about the problem of adware. "Adware is the most prevalent mobile threat in the world," he said. As of June, "6.5 percent of the apps in Google Play contain adware." Lookout figures that over one million U.S. Android users have downloaded adware.
