The report says that the "reported apps are being taken offline." These apps indulge in several unethical tactics to dodge Google's vetting system. These apps have managed to attract over 550,000 downloads in total, and Google has been notified of the issue. These apps were spotted on Google Play Store by research firm Bitdefender, and the firm notes that while these apps are not malicious, "the tactics they use to smuggle themselves into Google Play and dodge Google's vetting system are traditionally associated with malware." These unethical adware apps include Car Racing 2019, Screen Stream Mirroring, Transfer Data Smart, Period Tracker – Cycle Ovulation Women's, Barcode Scanner, and more. They reportedly hide their presence on the user's phone, and constantly show aggressive ads, leaving them frustrated. A list of 17 Android apps has now been discovered that are said to deal in unethical adware practices once installed.
