Another 103 Android apps turned out to be malicious apps: If you have one of the following apps on the list, you should remove them as soon as possible. According to information security firm White Ops, the list of 103 apps distributes smartphone ads, such as on the home screen and other screens. Thus, hackers make money at the expense of users and spend quite a bit of resources on their smartphone. More of these apps can "remotely arm", so hackers behind them can add spyware to take over the smartphone or steal important information.

Over the past year, quite a few dangerous apps have been discovered on Android, and in fact, this may have been the year when Google's defense mechanism proved to be absolutely ineffective. Time and time again, users and security researchers discovered suspicious apps, and only then did Google intervene and remove them. At this time, all apps in the list have been removed. Overall, the apps have been downloaded over 4.6 million times, and are likely to be installed on your smartphone. The world notes that apps could be avoided with a brief review of the app store. For example, an app that "looks to the future" was rated 3 star, with all the latest reviews being warned about the app and users pointing out that it is mostly running advertisements.

You can find the full list here, and if one is installed, you should remove it immediately. Among the most popular apps, you can find document scanning apps like smart scanner master, tiny scanner tool and more. Security investigators who found the breach noted that the apps were distributing advertisements, so removal would be enough to bring protection back to your smartphone.
