This paper is focused on the issue of malware detection for Android mobile system by Reverse Engineering of java code. The characteristics of malicious software were identified based on a collected set of applications. Total number of 1958 applications where tested (including 996 malware apps). A unique set of features was chosen. Five classification algorithms (Random Forest, SVM, K-NN, Nave Bayes, Logistic Regression) and three attribute selection algorithms were examined in order to choose those that would provide the most effective malware detection.
