Abstract
Smart phone users often neglect security issues, and directly confirm the pop-up windows without reading the permission requirement of the software. As a result, many smart phones have been implanted with virus. In the Android market, malicious software is disguised as games for users to download, thus resulting in malicious consumption, phone resource consumption, assistance in crime, or information theft. This study focuses on the prevention of the malware installed on Android smart phones, and analyzes whether an app is malware according to the announced permission combinations of the application.
