To be specific, we're not talking about classical viruses here. This is a different kind of malware. Fortunately, you're probably not going to get 'infected' merely by being on the same network as someone with malware. I think perhaps Google should take some API steps to help fix the problem. There are just some kinds of things that nary any app should be able to do anyhow.
