Hello frndz..
Please check the below link

Is this offically announced by Symantec??
I got this message from EFYTimes...
I also read that news..
This week, Symantec identified 13 apps, including the advertising module of the Apperhand network and classified them as malignant. It also issued a warning saying that the apps had already infected up to five million Android devices
It sounds like that article is talking about this:
An Update on Android.Counterclank https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/blogs/update-androidcounterclank
There is most definitely a big surge in new threats for the Android platform. At present there are 68 unique Android detections: http://www.symantec.com/security_response/landing/azlisting.jsp That is certain to rise quickly this year.
I have Norton Mobile Security on my own Android phone and recommend that all Android users take similar measures to protect themselves.
Hope this helps!
Mick
