    Any links to the apps in question?

    This is why installing software (side loading?) is so important on our own devices. Who cares if google has a problem? Its my device, I should be able to do what I want with it, including install software.

      Don’t worry. Next year Google will protect you from such dangerous apps by ensuring that you can only “side load” applications that they allow you to run.
