21 apps that hide a virus and should get deleted - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It was the Avast researchers who recently unearthed a new malware for Android which, through 21 applications available on the Play Store , gave rise to a new and well-hidden advertising campaign.
The malware in question is of the HiddenAds type, its main purpose is to convey unwanted ads that entice the user to download another app that is nothing more than a adware built to steal personal information.
The adware is capable of acquiring not only personal information but also the user’s location and much more. It must be said that once the application is removed no traces of the malware remain, but it must be the user who understands where the unwanted ads come from.
Here's the list:

Young Dev : Games/Apps from Inspirations

I started off with Google's AppInventor (now MiT control the releases). Made a few apps to start off, but then saw the money in theming and decided to go in that path, but then got banned because I used a few copyrighted images.
Then switched to Windows Phone because of Microsoft (and their partners') frequent rewards to devs.
Now I am trying to get back to Android and have been learning a lot of Java theory.

I have made 14 apps for Windows Phone that can be found HERE
2 out of the 14 are the ones I'm proud of.

Here my second app that i had developed.
The purpose of the app is to teach kids (and not only) the purpose of antivirus applications.
Learn about the best antivirus software, ESET, Avira, Bitdefender, virues, hacks, tips and tricks to protect your phone.
You can read the full review of the app by visiting this webpage.
Or even better you can download the app from google play store.
Also there may be more things to improve, and I really appreciate if you can also review it.
For every developer that has the chance to download and review it, I will also take the time to review their apps.
P.S. if this post isn't suitable for the category i picked, I will kindly ask to move it to the right place.:victory:

I have started seeing the same API when I go to running apps in dev. options. It's a service of Google play services the best I can tell but I'm around a lot of phone hackers and as far as I'm concerned anything is possible since I know very little about hacking. I would like to learn about this service as well!
