Before it was flagged and removed, one of the most successful apps on Google Play for over a week was an "antivirus" app that did nothing other than change an image.

After Android Police posted its discovery, Google removed both app and seller from the app store, but it does highlight a couple of flaws in the marketplace. Google does have a malware-scanning service, but this app contained absolutely no malware -- it was harmless, except for the fact that it was scamming users out of the price of admission.
