End of article gave a chuckle<p>&gt; In a statement, a Google spokesperson noted that all apps reported by McAfee had been removed. The representative went on to say: “Users are also protected by Google Play Protect, which blocks these apps on Android devices.” The spokesperson didn’t answer a follow-up question asking how the apps racked up 20 million installations if they’re blocked.

I thought the reason Google has so many onerous rules for listing your app in the Play Store was to keep this kind of thing from happening.
