Terminal and method for providing risk of applications using the same

The terminal includes an information collection unit, a storage unit, the determination unit and the processing unit. Information collection unit collects performance information generated when the characteristic information and an application which is input when the application is installed and executed, the storage unit stores the collected attribute information and running information. The determination unit compares the at least one criterion for the risk of the stored characteristics information, and execution information determining the risk of an application, and processing is displayed according to the risk of the application to the determination reference. Accordingly, since determining the risk of an application using the weight and increase the reliability, it is possible to provide a risk to the UI, such as icon to allow the user to intuitively recognize the risk to protect the device from malicious applications.
