#MALWAREBYTE FOR ANDROID APK#
Thankfully we MIUIers have one of those too and it even scans for malware before we even install an apk from the Mi App Store. Then if you do end up downloading one of these problem apps the best thing to do is hope you have a good security app to find it and remove it. Since Android really has zero features on its own that makes it even more of a problem.
Doesn't matter if a "Russian site" redirects you doesn't matter if its from a "Chinese app store" you take a chance each time you download something from a non-official source like MIUI itself. I'd say it really comes down to you being smart and not downloading too many third party apps period. Sorry but malware is a universal problem and Google is not on top of things at all.
This broken record is getting real old especially when we know Google Play has had many a malware issue.
