Auto-rooting adware is a worrying development in the Android

installs it, embeds itself as a system application, and becomes nearly
impossible to remove.

To add more salt to injury, the report says that these virus
cannot be uninstalled or removed. The owner might have to end up buying another

My 1 cent advice
Don’t install applications from unknown source you don’t
trust. Always installs apps from Google
Play store or else be ready to kiss your customize android device goodbye.

Can one buy/checkout stuff from GEARBEST without PAYPAL?
If yes how
No you can't. You need a PayPal account. By the way, opening a PayPal account is as easy as opening a FB account.
But Prof, there a lot of apps not listed in the playstore for root users, that's the risk we have to accept..love your blog man!
Tanks man, but its' important you don't install apps you don't need.
Sir, pls what's the easiest way to transfer money to PayPal account?
