The scary Internet giant has accessed the phones of Android users to eradicate viruses that were introduced to countless Android phones last week, PC Mag reports.

These steps included the removal of the offending applications from the Android Market—around 50—within minutes of Google learning about the issue. In addition to this, Google fired up its remote nuking capabilities, otherwise known as its “remote application removal feature,” to delete the applications from users’ phones. Affected users may get notifications that the applications have been removed from their phones, although Google also plans to email those whose Android devices were compromised by the attacks.

Google says no personal information was stolen by the viruses. Frankly, that’s a little hard to believe. In any case, the unsettling incident should give Android users pause about downloading any Android apps.
