"It is important to remember that even though there are instances of the games repackaged with the Trojan, the original versions available in the official Google Android Market have not been affected," the security firm said.
So, um, yeah... Don't download from non-trusted sources. That's been security rule 1 or 2 since the dawn of time. :)

Thanks for the heads up, brianes99. Notice it doesn't say which versions of the OS are vulnerable.

I suggest lookout app for free virus scan and locate.

Lookout may be nice if you lose your Droid but as an antivirus just like the rest of them it's a resource hog.

I removed Lookout and Prey trying to figure out what was killing my Droid battery. so, no AV running anymore. (i do run "wheres my droid" if i need to find it..). oh.. and maybe that is killing my battery..

If you look at battery use I'll almost bet that display is what's killing your battery. Solution? Well, you can turn down the brightness or simply get a back up battery so you don't have to worry about it.

Oops…went off topic. Sorry.
