      Just seen this in the RSS feed. About 50 apps contain the code, which makes its creators money by generating fraudulent ad clicks.

        Thanks for the Heads Up Lee. Checking now, but I don’t download any games on my phone.

        When the Thought Police arrive at your door, think -
        I'm out.

          This is a big one. If you have young kids (especially girls) there device will likely  have this malware. I factory reset my girls devices lastweek, when this news broke.

          I never bother to post about it as I didn’t think anyone here would be downloading the type of apps that had the ad malware attached.

          I dint think much of it really given it isn’t dangerous to the users machine. So isn’t really malware. Just some a clever click bot network.
