I have a crap L51 android I have to use for work. I almost never use it except to charge it and delete some texts and the occasional voicemail and update the OS when it sends an alert.

I never browse on it in Firefox.
I have disabled FB, Chrome, never turned on Whatsapp

Almost every day I see a new “app” has been installed, with a little green or yellow munchkin bug icon.

Anyone know how to stop this?

Thanks for the heads up. I live in Central America where WhatsApp is like the national phone company. You can’t really get by without it. However, I have no desire to watch NetFlix so I would not be tempted to download the app.

Check Point, I believe, is the parent company of ZoneAlarm, the PC firewall software.

I try to keep the apps to a bare minimum on my android for reasons of performance and storage. I usually pare down the apps every so often, throwing apps off that I don’t use regularly. This is just another reason to follow that strategy.

NEVER EVER NEVER NEVER EVER Use Whats APP!

The chicoms are all over it. Along with the CIA and Ruskies. But seriously. Don’t use it.

I’ve been using telegram. I know not perfect, but still better than whats app.

Oh and signal, guess who pushes that? The NSA. And guess who can read the messages? The NSA.
