At present, the countermeasures to malware on smartphone are limited to signature-based solutions which efficiently detect known malware, but they have serious drawback that cannot detect malware variants and usually need a large database. In order to solve above problems, we propose a malware detection mechanism which uses Document object model to analyze application‟s behavior on mobile device to improve the problem of traditional detection system. In the experimental stage, we used 100 benign and 47 malwares for evaluation and apply nine data mining algorithms to training classifier, using our proposed feature extract approach. The experimental result shows that our proposed detection mechanism not only detects malware proactive and high accuracy but also the performance of classifiers that using our extracted feature is better than permission-based.
