Four computer security researchers from the Georgia Institute of
Technology have demonstrated that they can create malicious apps
that can avoid detection by Apple's app review process.

In "Jekyll on iOS: When Benign Apps Become Evil", a paper
presented at the Usenix Security '13 conference, Tielei Wang,
Kangjie Lu, Long Lu, Simon Chung, and Wenke Lee describe how
they were able to create apps that can be exploited remotely
through program paths that did not exist during the app review
process. The researchers call these "Jekyll apps," because they
conceal their malicious side.

Your premise is not supported by your data. Even if it's true that some
malware can get by the app review process, how does this make iOS "worse
than Windows" (which you imply is malware-free)?

Can't believe you answered the troll. Tell me what newsreader you are
using and I will tell you how to create a filter that works in all
newsgroups.
