Thing is theres major news like this and it turns out theres only one app that causes these issues, an app that would raise a concern to any user that has already turned off the security setting to allow that app to download anyway.

True, but it does somewhat help people stay alert. The article should add the extra steps and warnings ignored for this thing to install to the top of the page, but that won't help your article go viral.

It also begs the question, what do you advise your customers regarding Android, that must be a job in itself. Windows must be a full time job too.
