Remove These 35 Malware Apps From Your Android Now

How to detect malicious apps

The cybersecurity firm identified 35 malicious apps on the Play Store that tricked users into downloading them.

According to the report, once the user installs the app, its name changes and the app icon remains hidden on the device.

The idea behind these malicious activities is to deliver annoying advertisements and generate revenue through them. What’s worse is that developers run these ads through their own framework, which bypasses the protections implemented by Android.
