Malware can find its way to your device in many ways, but downloading a malicious file or app is the most common way of it. In one of the latest cases, McAfee Mobile Research Team came up with a \u201cHiddenAds\u201d campaign that includes 38 Android games that were discovered on the Google Play Store.<br \/>\nAs the name suggests, these Android games can run advertising in the background and generate illicit revenue for creators. According to a McAfee report, these apps are installed by at least 35 million users worldwide, and some of them even have over 10 million downloads. Additionally, the United States, Canada, South Korea, and Brazil are the most affected regions.<br \/>\nThese infected Android games can load up your phone with malware, McAfee says<br \/>\nRunning ads in the background without permission can create an unfavorable experience for users. For example, it can slow down the device, cause sudden crashes, and freeze the device while playing a game. Identifying the roots of the issue is also hard in such cases.<br \/>\nMcAfee says they have reported infected apps to Google, and none exist in the Play Store anymore. However, if you\u2019ve already installed any of these Android apps, you should promptly remove them from your device.<br \/>\nHere is the list of the infected Android games:<br \/>\nBlock Box Master Diamond<br \/>\nCraft Sword Mini Fun<br \/>\nBlock Box Skyland Sword<br \/>\nCraft Monster Crazy Sword<br \/>\nBlock Pro Forrest Diamond<br \/>\nBlock Game Skyland Forrest<br \/>\nBlock Rainbow Sword Dragon<br \/>\nCraft Rainbow Mini Builder<br \/>\nBlock Forrest Tree Crazy<br \/>\nCraft Clever Monster Castle<br \/>\nBlock Monster Diamond Dragon<br \/>\nCraft World Fun Robo<br \/>\nBlock Pixelart Tree Pro<br \/>\nCraft Mini Lucky Fun<br \/>\nBlock Earth Skyland World<br \/>\nBlock Rainbow Monster Castle<br \/>\nBlock Fun Rainbow Builder<br \/>\nCraft Dragon Diamond Robo<br \/>\nBlock World Tree Monster<br \/>\nBlock Diamond Boy Pro<br \/>\nBlock Lucky Master Earth<br \/>\nCraft Forrest Mini Fun<br \/>\nCraft Sword City Pro<br \/>\nBlock Loki Monster Builder<br \/>\nBlock Boy Earth Mini<br \/>\nBlock Crazy Builder City<br \/>\nCraft Sword Vip Pixelart<br \/>\nBlock City Fun Diamond<br \/>\nCraft City Loki Rainbow<br \/>\nCraft Boy Clever Sun<br \/>\nBlock City Dragon Sun<br \/>\nCraft Loki Forrest Monster<br \/>\nLokicraft: Forrest Survival 3D<br \/>\nCraft Castle Sun Rain<br \/>\nCraft Game Earth World<br \/>\nCraft Lucky Castle Builder<br \/>\nCraftsman: Building City 2022<br \/>\nCraft Rainbow Pro Rain<br \/>\nYou can check the above list and see if you\u2019ve installed any of these apps.
