Google went to appeals court Monday in an attempt to convince a three-judge panel to overturn a jury's verdict declaring its app store for Android smartphones as an illegal monopoly and block the penalties imposed by a federal judge to stop the misbehavior.

Google has asked a US Appeals Court to overturn an earlier verdict that had ordered it to revamp its Play Store.

Even though users are often advised to be cautious when downloading apps, many still fall victim to malicious or third-party apps. Recognizing these risks, Google has stepped up its efforts to make the Play Store safer for everyone.
