== Free Apps and Adware ==A Major criticism of Google Play is that it is not clear which apps are adware and which are not. In the days of Tucows, Freeware is not the same as adware. What's worse is that passive adware is being replaced by more aggressive push adware, and furthermore by outright spyware that is collecting data about you from your own android device and sending it back to 3rd parties.Detect addons (push adware and some malware related to advertising): Use https://market.android.com/details?i...addonsdetectorThere is also "Lookout Security launched its free Ad Network Detector" but it does not flag apps that exhibit aggressive ad serving. "The intent of this product is to clarify for users the behaviour of applications that display ads," said Derek Halliday, senior product manager for security at San Francisco-based Lookout. "And two, to show users what privacy and information collection apps and their ad networks are doing. We're trying to provide transparency."source: ComputerWorld UK [http://www.computerworlduk.com/news/applications/3339942/lookout-ad-network-detector-sniffs-out-aggressive-android-adware/ Lookout Ad Network Detector sniffs out aggressive Android 'adware']
