Validated and Enriched Android Application Dataset: Integration of VirusTotal and Quark-Engine Intelligence

This data article describes a large-scale Android application dataset built by enriching a previously released Google Play removal corpus with external malware intelligence from VirusTotal Premium v3 Enterprise and Quark-Engine 25.3.1. The source corpus contains 870,514 applications with 48 metadata features. Of these, 803,320 applications (92.3%) were matched to VirusTotal reports, 772,706 (88.7%) were successfully parsed from Quark-Engine scans, and 772,506 (88.7%) had paired analyses from both sources (with an additional 27 applications having VirusTotal data only, included in the summary dataset). The released paired dataset combines the original metadata with ten selected derived features—five from VirusTotal and four from Quark-Engine—yielding 58 analytical features per application, or 59 columns when the MD5 linkage key is included. The release contains processed extensive tables, a compact summary dataset, and five consensus-based validated subsets whose sizes range from 38,302 to 80,368 applications depending on the VirusTotal threshold.
