After two days, that Android smartphone bulged and warped the phone. This virus uses the computing power of the smartphone to mine the virtual currencies, sending messaging spam and even bombards users with ads. However, the virus does not collect any private information or data from users.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, experts say that this virus can be found in more than 20 ads advertising on the smartphones, anti-virus apps or even porn apps. This virus can hide anywhere. Furthermore, the malicious software lurks in the Google Play App store or the Apple App store. Once suffering from this malware, the infected phone becomes unusable. Therefore, users have to be very careful when they download things from the store and. Additionally, they should be alert to\u00a0advertisements and spam messages.<\/p><div style=\"float: none; display: block; margin: 0 -10px; text-align: center;\"><!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_1 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7528541080\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_2 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2964262507\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/new-malware-causing-an-Android-phone-to-overload-and-bulge-e1513932234738.webp \"  type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/new-malware-causing-an-Android-phone-to-overload-and-bulge-e1513932234738.jpg\" height=\"250\" width=\"421\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-68341 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<p>Besides, whenever this virus grants administrative permission from users, this malware will prevent users from installing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/android-antivirus-apps-how-important-they-are\/\">security apps<\/a> that help to disinfect the phone.
