Here’s how you can spot fake Google Play Store apps

Quick Heal Security Lab has detected 27 malicious apps of dropper category on official ‘Google Play Store’.

These apps have been removed from Play Store after Quick Heal Security Lab reported it to Google last week. These apps continuously show installation prompt for fake ‘Google Play Store’. If any user falls prey to this trap and installs the fake ‘Google Play Store’ app, then his device gets infected by an Adware. On launching, it displays some stored wallpaper and after that, it hides its icon. So user will not be able to identify easily which app is showing the advertisements.
