Malicious Micromax ads- On phone, not the TV
Micromax phones are getting better and better in build quality and features. My Canvas Fire 4G Plus, is a testament to that.
But the evil is the ads and not just those foreigners posing on screen around the IPL matches, talking about how Micromax is ready to take on the world, especially Apple, using foreigners in their ads, rather than just Indians, because Micromax deserves to be the Make-in-India poster boy.
No!
The real problem is the ads on the phone, and I am not just talking about ads through notifications.
I am talking about ads which pop up on your screen and when you click the close button, they try to install on your phone.
And this is after I took the phone to the Micromax service centre to remove ads.
See this:
You must be saying I am stupid, taking a picture of the phone, when I could just take a screenshot.
But the funny thing is, IT BLOCKS YOU FROM TAKING A SCREENSHOT.
Yep, so there you have it.
Now, I click the X on the top right hand corner.
And what happens?
Yep, the application installs any way. Luckily I blocked Installation of apps, otherwise I would have a lot of apps.
But the issue here is that the app downloads reducing my data plan, which means that my data pack runs out quite quickly.
So here you have it, Micromax maliciously using ads to load the phone and reduce my net pack.
Beware!
