Anti-Malware Use Cases

Malwarelytics for Android provides a detection engine. It evaluates apps installed on the mobile device and the level of threat these apps pose to the mobile banking that uses the SDK. This chapter provides an overview of business and security-related use cases that can be implemented using this SDK.

App Manager

App Manager use case is an app plugin that lists dangerous or potentially unwanted apps. The simple screen lists the apps and facilitates an easy uninstall.

Suspicious App Overview

The Suspicious App Overview use case is similar to the App Manager use case but it is triggered whenever a highly dangerous app is found on the device, urging the user to uninstall the suspicious app. The app plugin lists apps that are highly dangerous and facilitates an easy uninstall.

Suspicious App Alert

In case your app detects a suspicious behavior — for instance, an app that actively uses accessibility features to read the content window — you may use Malwarelytics to evaluate such application and if it is found to be highly dangerous, you can show a full-screen alert screen to warn the user and let them uninstall the app.

App Installation or Update Notification

Sometimes, it is critical to detect a new application installation or an app update before the app is launched (ideally, as soon after installation or an update as possible). To that end, the SDK provides a listener mechanism that can trigger a notification.
