A new strain of malware making its way via Facebook, Twitter, and other frequently used apps, is affecting Android devices all over the world, according to new reports.<br />Researchers from security firm Lookout have spotted three new types of auto-rooting adware, which they have called a "worrying development in the Android ecosystem."<br />Lookout added that the three "Trojanized" malware families - Shedun, Shuanet, and ShiftyBug - are most likely separately created, but extremely similar to each other.<br />"For individuals, getting infected with Shedun, Shuanet and ShiftyBug might mean a trip to the store to buy a new phone," said Lookout's Michael Bentley in a statement.
