Microsoft’s playbook by throwing extra resources and talent at Play Protect to make it a world class security app that just happens to be free. Over the last three years, Microsoft transformed its Defender malware product from a joke into one of the best ways to protect devices." tomsguide.com/reviews/google-play-protect Dated June 02 2022 | |
| Jan 2, 2023 at 11:52 | comment | added | maskin | @schroeder Thanks, from searching not sure Google cares that much about making it a good product though? "Google Play Protect .... but that’s where it stops. Play Protect falls short of the mark with disappointing third-party malware detection results. The good news is that its ability to find and remove dangerous code is improving." tomsguide.com/reviews/google-play-protect Dated June 02 2022 | |
| Dec 28, 2022 at 18:24 | comment | added | schroeder♦ | I did a quick google search for Google Play Protect (the name for their app scanning programme) and there is so much detailed info about how they check, what they check for, etc. that it would be impossible to include it all here. So, I really do not think that this is answerable on a Q&A site. Again, you can tackle this research project, but post your results on a blog or something. This is not the best place for this. | |
| Dec 28, 2022 at 17:30 | comment | added | maskin | @schroeder Damn, that's frustrating, I did strip a lot of notes out | |
| Dec 28, 2022 at 14:43 | comment | added | schroeder♦ | Again, you are trying to bite off more than you can chew and added a ton of off-topic material. The question you asked was "how do they do the checks?" Keep your answer to that. | |

| Dec 28, 2022 at 11:03 | comment | added | Sir Muffington | Welcome to the community. Sorry for the downvote, this usually doesn't happen here. But I have to point out, that your answer is very non-technical and vague in my humble opinion, then again we can't really know what specific automatic reviews are done by companies either... P.S. no, I didn't downvote your answer and question. | |
