    USA still the best. But barely.
    I wanted to scan an .apk from my computer before I transfered it to my Droid. I was finding this impossible. But Netqin Online Virus Scan specifically says,

    "NetQin Online Virus Scan is a free service to scan software packet for Mobile OS, such as Symbian S60, Android, KJava, and Windows Mobile (for “.sisx”, “.sis”, “ .apk”, “.jar” and “.cab” formats)."

    Anyone know of other online scanners that work on .apk?

    What does it mean impossible? What error do you see?

    Sure I can scan with conventional PC AVs. But nothing that specifically states that'll scan an .apk on a computer. I mean I've seen no documentation from a PC AV vendor saying their PC AV can detect a virus within an .apk. Clear as mud, right.

    try virustotal

    VirusTotal now analyzes Android apps (.apk) from forums


    why use 3rd vender apk why not for android market itself

    Does VT specifically say it detects a virus in an .apk? That'd be my point.
