Strange article

    I unlocked my phone and two
    accidental clicks led me to
    agree to a dialog that my brain
    immediately registered as suspicious

What type of dialog can pop up on your Android screen after unlocking and install "malware"? What is "malware" here? It looks like they mean an app from the play store?

    The next day, I picked up my phone and
    when I launched Chrome, I immediately
    noticed it was displaying a spammy URL.

How can one app alter the behavior of another?
