San Francisco, April 13 – Google has released a new list of malicious apps that have been removed from its Play Store.
There are some simple rules you can follow to avoid installing these types of apps on your smartphone, although they may not always be 100% guaranteed.
A new batch of apps has been banned from the Google Play Store, accused of collecting personal data without users’ knowledge.

Although it was finally retired a few days ago, these apps – including Speed Camera Radar, Al-Moazin Lite, WiFi Mouse, QR & Barcode Scanner – have been downloaded several million times.
If it is always clear that it is possible to uninstall them, it is better to be careful before installing any new application on your mobile phone.
To do this, you should never download apps from anywhere other than the Play Store, as you risk installing malware that has not been verified or monitored by Google.
You should also make sure that Google Play Protect – an app-checking tool capable of detecting dangerous behavior – is enabled on your device.
Although not guaranteed, Google Play Protect performs a security check for apps from the Google Play Store before downloading them, and then detects any potentially malicious apps from other sources on your device.
To check if Google Play Protect is enabled on your Android smartphone, go to the Google Play Store app and tap on your profile icon. Select Play Protect, then go to Settings.
There you can enable the “Scan apps with Play Protection” and “Improve malicious apps detection” options. Those who wish can also disable these features at any time. – ETX studio
