G+_Marlon Thompson Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Yeah we know how this story ends Originally shared by Marlon Thompson Sigh... Here we go again Points to highlight with this one, its 10,000 devices in China (a drop in the bucket really), its from a local app store (ergo not in Google Play), It requires root (again an even smaller of users would have this enabled) But go ahead AVG scare us to death. http://mashable.com/2015/02/19/android-malware-spies-shut-down/?utm_cid=mash-com-fb-main-link http://mashable.com/2015/02/19/android-malware-spies-shut-down/?utm_cid=mash-com-fb-main-link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_John Mink Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 "The latest AVG antivirus products can detect this threat, but the company still advises users to take the battery out of their phone if they really want to be sure their phone is off." showing how unfamiliar they are with most Android phones.... but good points made on your end, it's typical fear mongering.
