    Be sure to install "Lookout Mobile Security" on your phone as this will help in detecting malicious apps. Also, I would recommend staying away from any title with foreign language in the title. When they release these "cloned" apps, the title is generally modified in a way that should raise a red flag.

    Here are some of the apps that were flagged:

    Falling Down
    Super Guitar Solo
    Super History Eraser
    Photo Editor
    Super Ringtone Maker
    Super Sex Positions
    Hot Sexy Videos
    Chess
    下坠滚球_Falldown
    Hilton Sex Sound
    Screaming Sexy Japanese Girls
    Falling Ball Dodge
    Scientific Calculator
    Dice Roller
    躲避弹球
    Advanced Currency Converter
    App Uninstaller
    几何战机_PewPew (perfect example of the game PewPew being faked)
    Funny Paint
    Spider Man
    蜘蛛侠

    Update: The above app were published by Myournet, and were found to be malicious

    Google removed the apps from the market and did a remote removal on most phones.

    True, and maybe pay more attention to "permissions"
