» In the world of political correctness, IT people are normally immune, but not always. According to the Android security division of Google, malware does not exist on Android, but Potentially Harmful Applications do. Apparently they have also tried to drop a number of other typical terms like Spyware. Instead, malware sub-terms are used by Google engineers to reduce confusion. Since Spyware implies, according to them, the taking of lots of information and sending it off, in their mind then, if information relating to your exercise regime was grabbed and circulated then this might perhaps be called exerciseware.
