But if you use an Android, you may want to reassess which apps you have installed on your device. Researchers from Check Point have warned about 11 apps that can infect your smartphone with dangerous malware. This includes a flower wallpapers app, an alarm app, a memory game, a file-recovery app, and several apps that offer cheery messages or relaxation (scroll down for the full list). The apps contain a type of malware dubbed Joker, which is one of the most prominent types of malware for Android. Once installed, the malware then ‘subscribes the user to premium services without their knowledge or consent.’Thankfully, all the apps have now been removed from the Google Play Store.
