How Android viruses scam users

Three adware recently discovered by ESET's experts exploited an ingenious trick to avoid being eliminated.In the main screen of the device they showed a simple connection (a bit like those on the pc desktop, just to be understood), while the real app remains hidden in the menanders of the menus.So, even if the user had to try to delete it following the fastest procedure, he would eliminate only the icon on the screen and the app would remain in his place, continuing to show unwanted advertisements.
