There are at least 17 Trojan apps disguised as games available on the Google Play store, according to digital security firm Avast.
The apps are part of the HiddenAds family, a Trojan disguised as a safe and useful application that instead serves intrusive ads outside the app.
Avast previously identified and reported 47 of these gaming apps to Google, which have been downloaded over 15 million times collectively.

Call of Duty: Mobile has passed 250 million downloads after eight months on the market, according to new estimates from Sensor Tower.
That figure includes all international versions of the game, which was a collaboration between Tencent and Activision Blizzard, across both the App Store and Google Play.
Call of Duty: Mobile launched on October 1, 2019, and since then it has been downloaded 250 million times, and taken $327 million in revenue.
According to Sensor Tower, the game has seen an increase in revenue since February -- a similar timeline to the global spread of COVID-19. The peak in 2020 was $53 million in May, the game's second most lucrative month since its October launch.

Apple will allow developers to challenge its decisions over App Store guidelines, giving creators a better platform to make the case for their mobile games.
The changes to Apple's app review process were revealed at the company's annual WWDC event, which is being held online this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a blog post detailing its many announcements, Apple said that the new system would be implemented this summer.
"Developers will not only be able to appeal decisions about whether an app violates a given guideline of the App Store Review Guidelines, but will also have a mechanism to challenge the guideline itself," the company said.
The guidelines for Apple's App Store have long been contentious among developers of all sizes. Recently, the Facebook Gaming app was rejected for a reported fifth time due to its "store-like" presentation, while the Steam Link app was initially rejected in 2018 due to "business conflicts."
Apple's guidelines have also been criticised for the restrictions they place on creativity, and the difficulty for developers to usefully understand what will be rejected.
Games like Molleindustria's Phone Story and Auroch Digital's Endgame Syria were rejected apparently due to subject matter related to real-world conflicts and human rights abuses.

A class action lawsuit has been brought against Apple over alleged "predatory practices" regarding loot boxes on the App Store.
Filed with the US District Court of Northern California, the lawsuit levels claims against Apple of unlawful and unfair business practices, unfair and deceptive acts and practices, and unfair enrichment.
"Through the games it sells and offers for free to consumers through its AppStore, Apple engages in predatory practices enticing consumers, including children to engage in gambling and similar addictive conduct in violation of this and other laws designed to protect consumers and to prohibit such practices," reads the filing.
There is currently no legal or academic consensus in the US on whether loot boxes constitute gambling, but several governmental and academic bodies around the world have argued that loot boxes should fall under local gambling legislation, or is linked to problem gambling..
Much of the lawsuit argument however hinges on the definition of gambling outlined by the California Penal Code, which states that an illegal gambling device has three features: it is a machine, aperture, or device; something of value is given to play; and the player may receive something of value by element of chance.
