MemoryUp, an Android application for the T-Mobile G1 had caused quite a lot of troubles to users who tested it. Claiming to optimize the memory usage, the application turned out to be a malware that deletes data (memory and cards) and freezes the handset. It also installs adware and spams mailboxes - wow, that's quite a lot of damage for a single app.
Tens of thousands of downloads have already occurred, but hopefully, you'll read this before being the next one. [via Geek.com, Gizmodo]
