While Google tries to protect its users from downloading its apps on the Play Store, some malicious apps sneak in. It’s important to delete these free Android apps you might have installed knowing that they were safe.
Google has already removed these apps from the Play Store and you should as well by uninstalling them if they are on your smartphone already.
These are the apps you need to delete:
- Run VPN
- Yellow Flash VPN
- CaptainDroid Apps – Android 12 Launcher, Android 13 Launcher and Android 14 Launcher, CpatainDroid Feeds, Free Old Classic Movies and Phone Comparison.
- Lite VPN
- Blaze Stride
- Anims Keyboard
- Byte Blade VPN
- Fast Fox VPN
- Oko VPN
- Turbo Tunnel VPN
- Turbo Track VPN
- Phone App Launcher
- Fast Fly VPN
- Fast Line VPN
- Quick Flow VPN
- Swift Shield VPN
- Sample VPN
- Speed Surf
- Secure Thunder
- Shine Secure
Most of these apps are free VPN apps.
These apps listed above rerouted traffic through the devices with the apps downloaded to participate in advertising fraud, credential stuffing and password spraying.
We highly advise to opt for paid VPN apps like ProtonVPN which I highly recommend. It also has a free tier as well if you really want to use the app without paying.
