Google has removed 21 new malicious apps from the official Play Store because they were found displaying intrusive ads. The apps are bundled with HiddenAds malware, which is known to be an adware that serves intrusive ads outside of the app. The Android apps reported in the above table were downloaded nearly eight million times by Android users. They hide their icons to prevent deletion and they also hide behind relevant-looking advertisements, making them hard to identify. Users can uninstall them from the app manager features of the device.”]
