What if the evil app removes their capability to do so?



If the app was on the device from the web or from a store it could remove their capability, but if the app is not yet on the device palm can easily upload a list of bad apps to not allow to run. Presumably this is what they would have to do with an existing app store app that went bad as a way to kill the one that have already been installed.


What if the list on my phone is out of date?


Then how would having bought it through the store done anything?
