The Trojans found are Android.Counterclank and Android.Tonclank, which worryingly is a bot-like threat that can receive commands to carry out certain actions, as well as steal information from the device. It sounds like the Trojan …
The mid range tablet market is sometimes a bit of a nightmare. There are too many manufacturers just making cheap tablets with poor specs and not fully thinking about the end user. Things like not having the Android Market, not being able to play the latest games, missing …
