I haven't experienced such laaaag in my Note 3 but I experienced some hiccups with my iP5. I can't complain much about the iP5 because it's free from work and I just use it as my music player otherwise it would die on me midday with it's average batt life unlike my Note 3 that's get charged every other day with moderate usage.

                      Obviously, this Malware was created by Apple to discourage people in China from using 3rd party app store.

                                poor apple, so much drama lately. i wonder what's really goin on here, ibend, IOS 8xx bugs, GTAT plants closures and now malware.

                                apple has always been steves brain child, now that he is gone with his vision of the apple of his eye the success and direction of the brand is questionable.

                                so apples data sec group must get to work now, atleas provide a security patch to the os to correct affected phones and macs at the shortest possible time since its thier hardware/software products all development in house i trully dont expect excuses they known thier machines best.

                                good luck ifans.

                                    Sicelo, 06 Nov 2014Well, in this case it is not fair or right to suggest there... moreSo far yours is the ONLY comment that addresses the article.

                                    PEBKAC Problem Exists Between Keyboard and Chair,

                                    So iDiot one downloads an app from NON authorised site and then complains he's got infect

                                    iDiots two three, four etc then heap scorn on Apple as if it were downloaded from the authorised site ?

                                    I am Android, the pefect combination of man & machine I realise this is a non story,

                                    Cleary some of the earlir Android models who cannot read / comprehend, or have the RAM neccesary to remeber this at the START of the article

                                    "The bug has affected hundreds of thousands of users who have downloaded software from a local OS X marketplace called Maiyadi App Store. The latter has been found to contain over 450 OS X apps affected by WireLurker, which have been downloaded over 350,000 times"

                                    AKA if WireLurker was in the Apple App store then their comments would be valid.

                                    As they are not, "Shame I know not what that Android is jabbering on about!"

                                      Chinese custumors who download stuff in a non secured app store called Maiyadi.

                                      Read people! Red the whole news first and then comment.
