It seems that Google Android users are having trouble with malware once again. Few days ago, Google used its kill switch to remove 260 000 malware apps, but it seems that wasn’t enough to stop the malware users and apps.

After Google’s remote intervention that has removed DroidDream malware, they have released an update that can help users clean up their phones and repair the damage that has been caused by malicious apps. Hackers have been busy as well, so they have created their own version of this tool and they have distributed it across third party Android marketplaces infecting users once again. This fake cleaning app comes with a Trojan is called Bgserv-A which steals the IMEI and phone number from the victim and sends it to a remote server. As you can see, this Trojan can lead to high data usage and it can seriously endanger your privacy.

So far, Google hasn’t announced the number of affected users nor a solution to this problem, but we’re hoping to see one soon.
