I spy with my little eye.. another Dropper

In my previous article we talked about Dropper Trojans, aka malware that drop(download and or install) other malware onto devices. After researching Android.Toorch.1.origin and Adware.Avazu.1.origin, I found a whole treasure trove of Droppers plus other malwares and here's one of 'em.

Drop it like it's hot

In my previous article, I wrote that Android.Toorch.1.origin can be dropped by another malware(possibly an Adware) onto the infected device. And that Android.Toorch.1.origin may also contain Adware.Avazu.1.origin.

Adware in Android devices have been around since the mobile OS has started. But nowadays, adware can be much more than just annoying advertisements. For example, the malware named HideIcon and NotFunny are classified as adware however it could be more than just that.
