Pokémon GO has become very popular, incredibly so. For this reason, many people got it on release date.

There was a problem, however. It was only released in very limited areas. As a result, many people wanted the software early. Then, it got so popular that the servers were slow and froze often. The Pokémon Company International didn't want to release the software in any more regions until these problems were fixed.

It is for these reasons that people downloaded Pokémon GO in less-than-legitimate means. And when people do that, then there are those that want to profit from it by putting potentially dangerous malware into Pokémon GO. This guide will determine whether your version is dangerous, and what to do about it if it is.
