So what about malware? Should we be worried? The key thing
to remember about malware on Android is that you have to
actually install the malicious app. Malware writers will use
increasingly clever techniques to try and trick you into doing
just that.

As malware writers try to earn money for their bad deeds, they
continually look for new ways to get their malicious software
installed on your devices. The best recommendation is still to
think twice before installing untrusted software or clicking on
strange-looking links.

Apps designed to personalize people’s Android-based phones
are most susceptible to be compromised, as well as
entertainment and gaming apps. Some of the most malicious
apps in the Google Play store downloaded since 2012 were
Wallpaper Dragon Ball, a wallpaper app, and the games Finger
Hockey and Subway Surfers Free Tips.

Both Wallpaper Dragon Ball and Finger Hockey, have malware
that steals confidential information such as device IDs from
infected devices. Subway Surfers Free Tips, meanwhile, uses a
Trojan called Air Push to bypass a device’s security settings
and subscribe infected phones to premium services
When downloading apps it’s imperative that you only do so
from a legitimate app store; that means from companies like
Google Playstore, Amazon, Samsung, or another major
manufacturer or carrier.

These marketplaces are monitored and scanned for potentially
dangerous or fraudulent programs. On occasion, however,
malicious apps sometimes slip through the cracks, often
disguised as legitimate ones. A fake BBM app recently
appeared in the Google Play store and managed to secure
more than 100,000 downloads before being removed. The app
itself was nothing more than a spamming service.
Pirated or cracked apps are another way that cybercriminals
use to infected Android phone with malware. They get
legitimate Android application package (APK) file and binding
it with a malicious program is a relatively simple process to
infect the Android phones. Most pirated or cracked apps
usually contain some form of malware so we advise you not
to install such apps.

Remove Pop-up Ads, Redirects, or Virus from Android Phone(Help Guide)
The number of Android apps infected with malware in Google’s Play store nearly quadrupled between 2012 and 2014. Make no mistake about it, there is such a thing as Android malware, cyber criminals create malware-spreading apps in devious attempts to steal personal details and advertisers use it as a marketing channel by bundling pushy ads with apps. In the first case, the users’ mobile security is clearly compromised. In the second one, the ad-app bundle is seldom mentioned, so users who download it unknowingly face a mobile privacy threat.

Malwares infecting smartphones is a recurring problem. Every now and then a set of apps get affected as malware somehow squirm their way inside the system. Recently, a new malware has hit the Android Google Play Store as part of a few utilities apps.

Lagos — A LEGAL practitioner has approached courts to stop MTN from listing its shares in the Nigeria Stock Exchange pending the determination of a suit between him, the telecommunications giant and four other firms.

Dr Charles Mekwunye is seeking an order of interlocutory injunction from the Court of Appeal restraining MTN, its agents or licenses from listing its shares pending the determination of his appeal.

He had dragged the South African-headquartered operator before the Federal High Court sitting in the commercial city of Lagos over the alleged breach of a contractual agreement by firms representing the company in a privately placed share units offer.


Joined in the suit a co-defendants were Lotus Capital Ltd, Stanbic IBTC Asset Management Ltd, IHS Holding Ltd and INT Towers Ltd.


Mekwunye had contended at the Federal High Court that after buying about 5 000 MTN Linked Units share through MTN's nominee, Stanbic IBTC Asset Management Ltd via a private placement memorandum, the firm failed to fulfil its obligation of converting the share units into MTN Nigeria shares.

He bought 5 000 units of the shares at the rate of US$122 800 in the then Naira equivalent of over N18, 376 million.

However, ruling on a preliminary objection raised by MTN on the competence of the suit, presiding judge, Justice Mojisola Olateru, asked parties in the suit to explored the arbitration clause embedded in the disputes contract.

Dissatisfied with the ruling of the lower court, Mekwunye through a motion on notice filed last month approached the Court of Appeal.

The lawyer insisted in the appeal papers that the root of the matter is the failure of the respondents to list MTN shares in Nigeria in 2013 as agreed by parties.

He challenges that until the suit or appeal is properly determined, MTN ought not be allowed to list is shares at the stock market.

No date for hearing has been fixed for the matter.

MTN plans to list its Nigerian unit worth over $5 billion reportedly by July.

TECNO should be honest for once before people think they are buying a mobile phone with AC. Tell them it's an inbuilt cooling system for the processors and the only noticeable difference is the phone won't get so hot while in use. This isn't new, Samsung flagships already have an inbuilt water cooling system for there processors starting from the s7 I think.
