    As Hannibal from the A-Team would say. I love it when a plan comes together, and, were going to give these dirtballs a little surprise.

    Mr T says- Take that sucka's.

    Big Kudos to Check Point Team and Google for having had enough.

    Now let's hope Google really begins to lay in to those creeps who think to stuff their Play Store with Android end user sneakery.

    Excellent question and one which demands a straight answer direct from the horse's mouth IMO.

    With the gobs of resources always at their ready disposal it does give serious pause to the question, Why Only Now?

    I'm sure their machine learning is already on the case.
