angry bird 2 in Appstore is still version 2.1.1. Which is on the list of affected apps.

very interesting, looks like Angry Birds 2 and Winzip are outsourced to China.

The app is by Qihoo 360 Antivirus which has been rated pretty well by PC Mag so should be trustworthy.

How can you say qihoo is trustworthy when they cheated independent antivirus tests?

"Qihoo 360 ... submitted products for comparative and certification testing which behaved significantly differently from those made available to its users and customers," said a joint statement issued by German lab AV-TEST, Austrian lab AV-Comparatives and British testing and certification body Virus Bulletin. "The three testing bodies will revoke all certifications and rankings awarded to the company's products so far this year."

What's the point? They sent a different version during evaluation. In fact they used bitdefender's engine during eval. No wonder got good scores. When actual stuff is dodgy instead.

"After several requests for specific information on the use of third‐party engines, it was eventually confirmed that the engine configuration submitted for testing differed from that available by default to users," the three labs said in a joint statement (download PDF).
