Android malware in IOL/Other adverts - BatteryOptimizer

[Ricard]

Hi all,

Just a note that IOL has got malware in one of the Averts. If you are prompted to click on a 'Battery Optimizer' - Dont! Do not install this app.
It sends texts to premium rate numbers with your phone details and username/contacts etc. It seems to happen primarily with FLASH enabled.

Make sure you have 'Only trusted sources' ticked in the Security settings
