Hello,
here's my problem: I've had a Galaxy SII for almost a year now, and I've just noticed that for the past few days, games are installing themselves. Whenever I browse through my menu, I see an application I didn't ask for (mostly games). I also have the opposite effect; I installed a game (2048), and every day I have to reinstall it because it disappears.
I've had Avast antivirus on my phone from the start, and I ran Malwarebytes Anti-Malware on it, but it didn't detect anything.
What should I do, please?
Configuration: Windows 7 / Chrome 34.0.1847.116

Hello,
and I just noticed that for the past few days I had game applications installing themselves,
that's called a virus. This virus probably didn't come in by itself. Which application did you install recently? Did you make sure to install it from the Play Store and not from a website?
Try uninstalling your latest apps...

In the end, after asking the question, I found the solution to my problem. Indeed, I had an Android emulator on my PC and using my Google account, it was installing the latest apps from the emulator. I uninstalled it and things are much better now.
And I never download apps from sites; I know what that does... but thanks for your help anyway :) -
