    So I was browsing a page and something seemed to go wrong ! after some time I saw there were two APKs files downloaded -from that page-. their names are Xzone-1409140423366-.apk and Xzone-1409227281662-.apk whether or not they are malicious is obvious :if they weren't why were they downloaded 'secretly'. I found a report here[^] and it says something about key logging.well that's scary...and there are not keyscramblers available for android ! after opening the APK with winrar I found -except of the bunch of HTMLs and a few XMLs- some pictures like playbuttons etc- that were not noticed by me while using the phone. no other strange activity was noticed either ! so in my view the file was not 'executed'. but I wan't to know for sure ! Is it possible for someone to run an APK file ,bypassing the phone's security measures ? also,if this thing enabled a stealth program how can I find it ? (I mean something hidden from taskmanager etc ) any advanced tips ? oh...I scanned the phone with AVG free and it found no threat ! thanks a lot !!!
