    Google Kills 21 Malicious Android Apps

    Google just removed some 21 apps from the Market in the last day from a publisher going by Myournet for doing all sorts of naughty things to your device. Offenses include attempting to root your phone, uploading phone information (including IMEI) to who-knows-where, and -- most egregiously -- adding a backdoor that allows additional code to be pulled down and executed.

          Yes that's the downside of an open market.

                  True, problem is Google can only kill them in their app market. All the other Android App sites may not be so diligent.
