One can download AVAST on their device and update daily or weekly for anti-virus signatures - while the app scans your device for malicious crap like this. Just like a computer, one must take steps to keep the device clean of infection.
Maybe bring back those old WWII posters telling sailors and soldiers to use protection from STD’s - now we can called DTD (Digital Transmitted Disease) AH!
I only saw 3 apps mentioned. Is there a full list somewhere?
Bumping for all to see.
I have a Note that I use primarily as an ebook reader. I suspect Google could afford to do a little better QA on apps in it’s ‘play store’. Luckily for me, I don’t install games or other crapware on my device, though I’m seriously looking at rooting it just so I can set up a better SSH server.
I foolishly installed a malicious app on my Nexus 7. It’s called android 5.0.2
I may have to do a “factory reset”. Version 4.4.4 worked great.
This is a prime example of why Apple exercises so much “control” over what is offered in the AppStore...
Some decry the control a draconian and limiting...I’ll take limits if it helps prevent this kind of garbage...
