Malware Finder uses permission and intent-filter to detect malicious apps. while scanning, it loads the machine learning model and extracts permission and intents from the installed applications on your device. These extracted features are then fed to the machine learning model returns a prediction score between 0 and 1 that demotes the degree of maliciousness of the scanned application. We use this score to classify the scanned app into onw of the following categories:
