Some of them are paid applications and all of them are downloaded without the consent of the user. According to an estimate, the malware developers are gaining as much as 4.05 million dollars per day. So far, this malware infected around 40 famous apps including Assistive Touch, WiFi Enhancer, All-star Fruit Slash, Talking Tom 3, TimeService, Super Mario, Easy Locker, Privacy Lock and Simple Flashlight.

A special app to kill Ghost Push is developed by Cheetah Mobile. It is Ghost Push Trojan Killer app. Users can download it from Google Play Store to chuck out the malware. As the technology is progressing, the dangers associated with it are also growing in the same proportion.
