Nine non-functional Google Play apps published by a developer named Tools4TV were found to contain adware and flooded users with unwanted advertisements; the apps had nearly eight million installs (one app ~5M). Google removed the apps and the developer from the Play Store, and the report recommends avoiding untrusted apps, reading reviews, and using anti-virus protections.
