Google has kicked 151 Android apps out of the Play Store for being scams, and you'll want to make sure none of these apps are installed on your phone. Many Android apps have similar or identical names, so you'll want to make sure you've got the right one. Fortunately, Android apps all have unique "package names," which you'll see in the third column of Avast's scam-app list. Avast found 151 apps that were part of this campaign, but it's possible there are still others in the Google Play Store. Android's built-in antivirus app, Google Play Protect, isn't quite up to handling the job on its own.
