Android malware disguises as ad blocker, but then pesters users with ads

Quote:Security researchers have discovered a new Android malware strain that's currently being distributed as an ad blocker for Android users, but, ironically, once installed, it pesters victims with ads through multiple methods at every couple of minutes.

Named FakeAdsBlock, this new strain has already infected at least 500 users, according to Malwarebytes, the antivirus maker who spotted the malware.
