The three apps first appeared in the official Android marketplace in January and weren’t removed until March when Google was privately notified. That’s according to a blog post published Thursday by researchers from security company McAfee. Two apps masqueraded as security apps, and a third purported to provide information about food ingredients. Hidden functions caused them to steal device information and allow them to receive additional executable code that stole personal photos, contact lists, and text messages.

- "I have a powerhouse desktop which I worked very hard on building. I use it for some pretty heavy stuff, and having antivirus software that will not only secure my investment, but also use limited resources to do so, is a huge deal for me. It simply works. I started using Webroot in July of 2013 and have used it ever since, no matter what the computer might be. It's on my laptops, desktops, you name it - and I know it's going to work."
- "This is an amazing software package. I do a lot of bench marking and nothing comes close to the performance of Webroot. I wish there were more of an assurance as to always having updated software, but it's alright I guess. Please continue your most excellent support and service. I'D HAPPILY PAY DOUBLE FOR THIS."
- "I love Webroot! It is very light on resources and, as a result, doesn't interfere with my computer's operation. The frequent updates and scans help keep my computer secure. A wonderful antivirus application that I've recommended to others."
