Some Android anti-virus firms have begun releasing Carrier IQ detection apps, but only after the controversial software became a talking point on Capitol Hill ... and a month after a security researcher first discovered it. BitDefender released Carrier IQ Finder, an app that identifies the presence of the controversial mobile diagnostic tool, following Lookout's earlier release of a similar tool called Carrier IQ Detector. Both applications let mobile phone users know if they have Carrier IQ running on their Android phone without actually removing it. Each has been available at no charge via the official Android Market since last Saturday (3 December).
And there's a reason I recommend F-Secure above those other, better known names, to any of my acquaintances who feel the need for a paid security suite.
Quoting:Carrier IQ supplied a diagnostic kit built into phones and was more akin to Microsoft Software Update.
The truth shall set you free!
