Here’s the crux of the matter: Sources have uncovered 35 Android apps you have to delete from your phone. Sometime last month, we reported a few apps that were affected with malware and were on the Play store so you can get rid of them if you have them installed on your phone. Well, thanks to firms like Bitdefender, there has been thorough research about more apps that can rip you of your hard-earned money or intrude on your private data or even jeopardize your Android overall performance.
The 35 Android apps: why you should delete from your phone?
Different from the other malware we’ve heard about like the Joker or Trojan or the Autolycos, the malware present in these 35 Android apps you should delete from your phone is related to commercials. By commercials, we mean UI-harming, smartphone-performance slowing advertisements that you cannot get rid of easily to go back to your activities.
What’s even more threatening is the fact that you can be directed to other pieces of malware. You can be tricked into installing another app to get rid of the initial ads only to discover that both the app installed and the previous one are of the same caliber.
It was further noticed by sources that these 35 Android apps are always caught in the act of disguise. That is, after any update or installation, the app takes up another form, precisely looking like the Settings menu on your phone making it hard to locate them. It was discovered by sources that over 2 million Android users are victims of these 35 Android apps.
To exit the tally, search for any of the apps mentioned below and get rid of them. Most importantly, check to see which Settings app is which, so you can get rid of smartphone-performance slowing ads for good. Here are the apps you should delete from your phone:
