Recently I updated Chrome for my Windows 7 home PC that I develop on and got a little surprise with it. I can only conclude that downloaded with it was a sneaky little booger called Mobile App Sync. This appeared cause a malicious app called AppCaster to download to your Android device, which in return opened a portal for all kinds of nasty. Every time I would plug my phone in and go to sleep, apps would download on their own. No wonder why it is so hard to get traction faster in the market for small developers when some advertisers are using malware installers to boost their numbers.
So if you see this, delete it with authority unless you enjoy backdoor access to your phone!
Then find this on your PC and delete it. Just as a side note though, this did not have an uninstall option on it and had to be uninstalled through the windows uninstaller. Imagine that!
