Apple removed the popular app Adware Doctor because steals user browsing history

Apple has removed one of the most popular anti-malware app called Adware Doctor:Anti Malware &Ad from the official Mac App Store because it was gathering users browser histories and other sensitive data. The unwanted behavior was spotted by a security researcher that goes online with Twitter account Privacy 1st. The researcher discovered that the gathered info was first stored in a password protected zip file named history.zip, then it would be uploaded to a remote server in China. Apple is allowing such kind of dubious behavior and is allowing similar app names that could generate confusion in users.”]
