We have discovered a new case of malware in one of the applications from the App Store, this time Quotes Instaquotes-Cards for Instagram. This app contains a specific malicious software known as "Worm.VB-900".

This worm written in Visual Basic it does is install files into the Windows directory and then modifies the Windows registry for malware to run when the system is restarted. Therefore, if you downloaded this application when it was available, we recommend that you remove as soon as possible.

The developer of Instaquotes-Quotes Cards for Instagram ensures qu and was unaware that his application had a malware inside. Apparently they hired an independent developer to develop the application and are now investigating what happened to solve the problem as soon as possible.

This makes the fire alarm about the safety of the applications on the App Store. A few days ago we saw a Trojan contained in an application and met the finding that one in five applications had access to our contacts without permission.
