I wish Google would inform the users when they remove an app from Google Play due to it containing malware. I'm not sure if they also remove it remotely from the devices, I think they don't, because I once had an affected file explorer which then got removed from Google Play but not from my device.
The same goes for Chrome Extensions which have been removed from the Chrome Web Store. In that case, they get removed automatically from the browser, which is somewhat ok. I would prefer that they would get disabled without me being able to enable it again, and get labeled as malicious. Because how else can I verify that I once installed an extension or an app which then turned malicious?
Currently I know that either one of my or my dad's devices has something malicious on it, because I got an HTTP GET request to a URL whose full path is only known to our devices (and only via HTTPS).
