Η Google must thank her Sophos Labs, as researchers at this company have exposed many security issues that exist in its applications Google Play Store.
Τexperts claim to have detected 15 malware-infected applications available on Google Play Store.
According to the testimony of many victims, the malware bombards the user with continuous ads - day and night - on the home screen, even during calls. Turning off the smartphone is obviously the only solution to stop this nightmare… until the next reboot.
And if you think that just uninstalling the dangerous application will save you, hackers have unfortunately thought of everything. Once the malware is installed on your device, its malware will delete the shortcut icon on the home screen and in the applications drawer, making it impossible for you to detect it.
As usual, the British company notified Google, and the company Moutain View has quickly deleted these applications from the Play Store. However, if you have unfortunately installed one of these applications, we recommend that you uninstall it as soon as possible. To do this, go to Settings and then "Applications and Notifications". The most recently opened applications appear in a list at the top of this page.
If any of these apps use the generic Android icon (which looks like a little green robot Android) and has some of the names (such as "Back Up", "Update", "Time zone service"), click on this icon and then press'Force Stop'followed by'Uninstall.'
A real system application will only have one button named “Deactivation”Instead of“Uninstall”And you should not turn it off.
