    Just raising awareness of a new Trojan Horse that targets Android.  Prevention is far better than a cure in many cases, so please run LiveUpdate on your Androids to stay protected.

    Threats like this (and variants of known threats) are discovered very often- I recommend that you ensure that your Symantec Mobile Security client receives new definitions daily and scans for threats daily.  If you manage the Androids in your corporate environment, I recommend setting the policy so that these updates and scans occur that frequently.
