Android, because this site is considered one of the safest places to download programs and games without fear of some kind of virus entering your smartphone; however, some cybercriminals are dedicated to creating applications with the intention of introducing you to a malware virus, which is capable of stealing your personal information and even bank details.

In this opportunity, from Mag we will show you the list with the programs that contain malware, if you have installed some of these we recommend that you eliminate them immediately.
