Alcatel phone - gallery app hijacked (1 Viewer)

[Janine]

My son bought me a cheap & cheerful Android phone - Alcatel Pixi 4 - to see if I could be dragged into the 21st century without too much kicking and screaming.

Last month, I noticed that my photo gallery app had been renamed ' Candy Gallery'.

When I was having a bit of a think yesterday, I googled it and found out that it is spamware which seems to have come from Alcatel itself.

Here's some more info in case you are affected too:

Worrying ... lots of child photos on my camera.. I thought it was safe.

I doubt that any mobile 'phone is 'safe'
