Android Antivirus

Abstract

Development in the technology results highly in the development of malware and malicious activities to damage and destroy other systems. Android is one of the main platform where hackers and attackers put up their efforts because number of android users are increasing day by day. In the light of this we worked on an android antivirus. Antivirus are of two types , one signature base and other behavioral base antivirus. It is a behavioral base antivirus that categorizes the applications as high, medium and low risk and gives an option to the user to uninstall or trust the applications.We first gathered 1000 malicious and 500 benign applications which are tested against a set of rules to know about their behaviour. On the basis of the results, we refine the rules and finalize them. After these technical tasks we made an android application on the basis of these refined and finalized rules and then tested those against a set of 500 malicious and 500 benign Android applications. Then we calculated accuracy and efficiency of the designed system. In this thesis we explained all the steps and technicalities of our system with detailed explanation.
