Android owners are being urged to delete a list of popular apps after they were removed from the Google Play store.
Millions of people have downloaded the dangerous apps, which have presented themselves as fitness, gaming or questionnaire apps. The apps trick users to click on fake links to visit dodgy sites or get them to download the app under the promise of fake rewards.
Some of the banned apps include ones that promised users rewards and points for walking and exercising, however, when people tried to cash out the points they were blocked or had to watch endless adverts.
