An application’s safety rating is determined by analyzing its App Safety Index and Developer Safety Index. The application is then given a safety rating of Risk, Care, or Safe.

If a network connection is not established from the App Management screen after installing a new application, ALYac Android will rate the installed application as Unverified.

In addition, users can change “Risk” Apps, distinguished as “Malware,” to “Excluded” level based on user’s own criteria on safety index.

2. What is different between 'Care' level and 'Malware'?

Apps with “Care“ level are different from Apps with “Risk“ level, which are distinguished as 'Malware'.

'Care' level is determined by App permission and Developer Safety Index. 'Care' level indicates that App should be used after confirmation of App information.

Criteria on being determined as “Care“ level is described as below:

• Product download and user rates have not been reached to ESTsoft’s criteria.
• Developer is a start-up company or developer information is not clarified so that the App earned low estimate on developer safety index.
• There is a possibility of security threat due to use of excessive permission.

Apps having lack of App information can be displayed as “Care” level. Developers should request “App Safety Assessment” via m_alyac@estsoft.com for the improvement of developer safety index.

3. When ‘Scheduled’ is completed?

App Safety Rating is updated every 3 days, and ‘Scheduled’ means Android Market failed to send App information.

4. How do I update ALYac Android?
