Rather than disappear it from the Store entirely, it would be nice if Google could leave a placeholder with a warning; at least it would serve an educational purpose.
Also, does the Play Store app have a way to notify users of a banned app that is still installed? I decided to check my wife's phone proactively, but I don't think she would otherwise have had a clue of malware (but has been getting weird and annoying pop-up ads).
