Warning when downloading an App from the Google play store.

If when an App gets to the installation phase your screen goes black, this may not be a sign of failure to install but that the App contains a particular Malware from Russia "RU Fraud"

The App will not appear on your tab at all but the trojan will have been installed. It is designed to send texts to a premium rate phone without your knowledge. None of the normal sounds or indications that a message has been sent or received will be heard or seen but you will start to lose money.

Samsung Galaxy phone and tablet customers have been targeted along with the HTC flyer as the Google Play store is unfortunately not as regulated as the Iphone store.

I do not have knowledge of how to remove this Trojan but it is well worth you checking your phone bills carefully, if you have experienced this Black screen problem after downloading an App.

Please report back any Apps that have caused you this issue
(into Site Feedback section ) and we will report back in this section on a regular basis.
