[QUOTE="upnorth, post: 700161, member: 38832"] I agree with [USER=65228]@Opcode[/USER] and with such an old Android version I personal would be very careful strolling around on the net and also what app/s I install ( there permisson settings, if they seam regular updated, reviews and ofcourse only downloaded from the Google Play Store. Goes for any apps IMO even on a brand new Android version. ) The problem keeping up with what apps are malicious is that when they are found by Google they normaly tends to be deleted from the Play Store and that's fine but how do you or anybody else now know if what you already have installed on your phone/tablet etc is or is not considered by Google as malicious? Use the Scan option inside the Play Store app. (y) Malicious apps will for sure still popup in Googles Play Store but with a little bit of common sense and also simply ask here on MT about any app/s before you install it will automatic make the whole experience much smoother, comfortable and safer. :coffee: [/QUOTE]
