How to verify that Samsung Galaxy phone has not been compromised
I wasn't paying close attention and updated my banking app via a link that supposedly connected to Google Play. I did NOT connect directly to Google Play.

Is this a real Malware or Trojan? MU online Game Server
*** Hello, is this a malware? VirusTotal flagged it with a detection, but this is a Game Server file (DarksTeam MuServer 0.99.60/62T 1.0M).
