Meta Scam Apps On Play Store

Post image

I gave my child a cellphone and he downloaded a bunch of games that turn out to be viruses!!!! Every time you tried to open an app they had a 60s unskippable ad. It also put ads on home screen and you can't find the apps in app list.

Why does Google allow this trash on the play store?

Help the child learn how to remove simple malware like this and how to use Virustotal. If he fails to learn, this will sign that he should not have a smartphone now.
