We told you about Max Mobile Security when it was first released for BlackBerry 10 and the application has now been updated to its fourth version bringing new features and improvements as well as BlackBerry Q10 support.

As I mentioned in our initial post of Max Mobile Security - with BlackBerry 10 having the ability to run Android applications I presume that there is now some risk of malware etc that could effect your BlackBerry smartphone. I'd rather be safe than sorry and although the application does hold quite a hefty price tag you need to weigh up the risks for yourselves.

*Update* It seems there is a slight bug which BlackBerry are working on - so if you get a message saying you have insufficient network coverage don't panic - all will be resolved soon. Feel free to contact the dev directly if you have any issues - shashwat@maxpcsecure.com

Way to contribute to the article!! My gosh!! No one cares if you are first or 1 millionth! Doesn't make you cool at all.

I'm very curious to see more about this.

Reply MES28 21 hours ago

Is there even a risk with Android apps running on z10?

Posted via CB10

Reply Gerii 21 hours ago

Yes, they can access files, contacts and other sensitive information on the device. As long as you only download apps from the store, this risk however is very small as those apps are checked by the store team and an automatic virus scanner powered by Trend Micro.

Has anyone ever had a security issue or malware experience on a Blackberry yet?

Reply MES28 21 hours ago

Side note - why is it such a big deal for someone to comment "first" on an article. Takes no time to look past it. Let them have their cookie. Doesn't impact my life.

It's more annoying to see multiple follow up posts calling out the "first" poster. Yes, my post is just as pointless.

Tried updating won't let me tells me network error has occurred, check coverage, tried using both my 4g & my home wifi, even deleted the app to try a reinstall, get the same message, so can't even reinstall it now, yet can download & update other apps no problem from blackberry world.

I am having same problem. Uninstalled then tries to reinstall now can't. Contacted them and they say it is BlackBerry world fault it won't update or download.

Reply Pirate_King 21 hours ago

Me too! Can't start downloading since the last time this app was upgraded to a paid app because of a network error and it says to have sufficient network coverage and I'm on 3G and Wifi?

Contacted the app developer then and he gave me advice to try deleting the app from device and cloud and reinstall but without avail as the same problem exists now existed then and didn't hear more of a solution so I'm just waiting for another anti virus app hopefully soon someone else can come up with.

Do we really need this?

Reply DaffleJon23 20 hours ago

Sideloaded Android apps can be dangerous. Contacted the app developer on the update, "If there is an issue in updating please do try to re-install the app, we have contacted BlackBerry World for a resolution."

Reply artie 20 hours ago

What if we don't side load or port anything just stick with native apps., do we still need it?

Reply DaffleJon23 19 hours ago

It also scan malicious files "Malware that can harm other devices like devices connected to the same cloud, email attachments or when the device is connected to the PC."

Try contacting them at shashwat@maxpcsecure.com
I got a response in minutes.

Reply Pirate_King 20 hours ago

I did email the same address but I wrote "Max Mobile Secure Developer" instead and as you see from his last reply to me and from my last subsequent email to him, it has been almost 2 months now with no replies as I guess they haven't been able to work out a solution and I just gave up on getting the app and contacting them again.

They've contacted the BlackBerry Appworld team, hopefully your issue gets solved soon, really like this app hope I can get the update soon :)

Why is Crackberry pushing apps in editorials that clearly have major issues? Kevin? Anyone?

The app is working perfectly, an issue with the BB world download system it seems.

Another reason we want native apps built for BlackBerry.

Reply DaffleJon23 19 hours ago

This is a native app built using cascades, appears like a problem with BBWorld.

Reply artie 9 hours ago

I thought I read somewhere that it is an Android app. My misunderstanding then.

Reply f_d 18 hours ago

This is an BB World problem, and has nothing to do with native apps vs. ports.. I've experienced a number of apps, many native, that cannot download claiming a "network error".. One of my favorite games "Pew Pew 2", which is a native app originally ported to PlayBook gives this error (I can still download the free version, but it doesn't have all the extra levels, etc..

I don't see a need for this.

1. Malicious Android run-time apps (side loaded) for BlackBerry10
Only sideload stuff from Blackberry World.

2. Malware that can harm other devices like devices connected to the same cloud, email attachments or when the device is connected to the PC.
The PC or other device needs to have AV protection, not the bb10.

Has anyone used this to get rid of malware from a BB world sideloaded app?

Reply DaffleJon23 17 hours ago

Thanks for sharing the links. It is true that there are no kernel malware as even the developer told me. But the android level gives contact permission and internet permission which can steal your data and of course the cloud scan is Mobile-Computing.
I shall email the developer for more details though :)

I'd love to see this app in action in a video review to get a clearer idea of how it works. That way, it will help with deciding whether or not it's worth the $10 CDN it costs for the app.

Reply 3_M4N 16 hours ago

I'd really like to know whether this app does what it says it does. I know a lot of people are downloading it for peace of mind but I'm not 100% how/if it works.

Reply billsterjito 9 hours ago

can this get into the android runtime and actually weed through potential hazards. With no headless applications running can it only check running applications as it also cannot run in the background.

maybe I'm way off base here! Please correct me if I'm wrong!
