Buyers Of Fake "Virus Shield" App Get Refund And $5 Store Credit
From Google  Remember "Virus Shield", the fake app that promised
to protect your Android device from viruses while actually doing
no such service whatsoever? Well, once the app's bogus nature
came under the spotlight, Google quickly responded to user
reports and took it down. However, the app had already climbed
to top spot on the Play Store Paid Apps section, and 10,000+
people had paid $3.99 for it.  Google has handled the situation
better than we could have ever asked for. Not only are they
refunding the $3.99, but everyone who bought the app gets $5 in-
store credit as well.  Additionally we'd like to offer you $5
promotional credit1, which can be used to purchase digital
content on Google Play such as apps, games, books, music and
movies.  Good move, Google. Now, make some changes so that such
an embarrassing situation doesn't repeat itself.
