Microsoft offers Free Windows Phones to get rid of Android Malware


Microsoft is facing new problem of malware. Recently it has faced a problem of malware and has decided to give away free Windows Phones to five Android users with the worst malware horror stories. Microsoft’s Windows Phone evangelist Ben Rudolph recently announced a contest on twitter using the hashtag #droidrage.



This is not a new strategy of the software giant to get rid of the scam. It had done the same before this to win people over this mobile platform. In August, the software giant offered free Windows Phones to webOS developers after Hewlett-Packard announced it was discontinuing its webOS device lineup.



Recently Google has removed 22 malicious apps purporting to be legitimate versions of popular programs such as Cut The Rope and Angry Birds. The apps were packaged with malware that would send fake text messages to premium-rate SMS numbers, costing the user around $5 per SMS. And this is not a big issue that a software giant gives away or gives up any of their products or services to avoid scam.
