Yesterday, we wrote about some very bad piggies: pirated Rovio software being used to push unwanted ads at Google Play users.
What kind of ads?
Here's an example from an ad-network we've been tracking since we came across it back in March.
Yesterday, the ad-network directed Finnish IP addresses to an ad for a poker game app.
But today, the ad redirects to a fake "antivirus" scam:
![Android virus-a.akeji.d]()
![Android virus-a.akeji.d]()
The scam's Finnish localization sucks…
…at least until you scroll down to the legal disclaimer at the bottom which claims it's all for "entertainment" purposes.

Just enter your phone number for the service and…
Ouch!
Fifteen euro a week? Do not want.
