[*Warning!*]Virus Threat inside the Marketplace?] - EVO 4G General

This user post this on GS2 forum, and wanted to share with everyone here too. But he is claiming to have a "virus" inside the "Market Place" if you update to the latest version.
Share his thread if it is a possible threat, great day all!

Not sure why anyone would donwload those "apps" to begin with. They didn't make any sense. Ever since Market turned into Play, this is the first time I've really heard of threats I'd viruses in the Market. Thanks for the heads up.

There is a reason Lookout Security exists, and it's free unless you want to pay for cloud back-up services.

Yes, there is a slight typo in the barcode, and go here to create barcodes: http://invx.com/code/?
funny i have been doing this for a while..
This may be a stupid question. but i figured i'd ask anyways. what can i do with these bar codes? i mean i know this dream can read them in apps like shop savy. and i know there's a way to enter contact info with them (but dont know how) but whats this all about?
i've had this one as my avatar for quite a while now, along with other people.
I've seen these types of barcode on contact cards etc., but so far, i've not found any use for them (except hiding offensive messeges )
they seem pretty unnecessary to me tbh.

New forum dedicated to Nexus

Hi!
Just wanted to let everyone know, that i setup another forum dedicated only for the Google Nexus Owners. XDA-Developers is still the perfect place to be, but you can also share you're passion for the Google Nexus One at this forum..
www.SetupNexus.com At the bottom of the site there is a link for the forum...
Its brandnew and fresh - I hope everyone is willing to help me build it up...
For the people at XDA - If the commercial here is not okay, i ofcourse accept you guys deleting it..
I'm pretty sure it's not cool to advertise other sites here.
Also, i think you need a t instead of a d on:
"Site is Currently being build" (built)?

My 1st Android Wear App Find my phone

Hello to everyone,
I just launched a new android wear app and wanted to share with the community. This is my 1st android wear app so im super excited and want to see what you guys think about it.
The app is to help find your phone / mobile device if you misplaced it .
I made this app after i got an android watch and noticed that i dont use my cell phone that much anymore and kept leaving it around and spending too much time finding it. So i made an app to help me find it.
Any suggestions would be great.
Thank you all in advance
Link To App.

It's old and highly debated as a hoax. The damage is clearly self made in my eyes and many others.
Closed at OP's request.
