Went to the Developers website and see a picture of a Windows Phone.I knew Evil Microsoft was behind all this creating panic among Android users LOL.On the other hand its crazy the amount of permissions this app is asking.

I'm the same. Unrooted, stock 2.3.4 UK Vodafone SGSII and this turns up!!
I have both the Russian app asking to update and this "testfile" app already installed.
I'm not going to root (especially with ICS around the corner). What can I do?

Yeah I saw it thanks man, but I'll wait till Google resolve this.I dont think It will take that long considering all the people flagging the app in the market.
I'm on juggernaut 5.0... I just saw this earlier today, didn't update because I didn't know what the hell it was... I've done every fix suggested and it's still there...

Yeah doesn't look like it was anything malicious but they have a point about the security vulnerability.

I also got this app installed, it installed when I flashed a new ROM, as soon as I connected google store, it downloaded it automatically. Don't think it was the rom though, likely an app that slipped through google's security.
Okay, so from what I can gather the same developer that did the samsung email app also produced the russion MTC mail app, signed with the same signature and gave it the same unique identifier. The samsung app doesn't exist in the market, just in the ROM, so Play didn't pick it up as a duplicate - yet it still pushed it out to everyone's phones.
But what about the "testfile" app that has updated the samsung all share app the same day as this MTC app appeared? Does it have any relationship to this case: http://groups.google.com/a/googleproductforums.com/forum/#!topic/android-market/umd_3_ES_ck
In that case, it seems an UNRELATED developer has caused an update to be pushed out over a stock app. This happened back in JANUARY. Why has there not been more noise about this? Even if these situations don't imply a security vulnerability, the appearance of strange apps that users didn't install creates its own security problem: "Oh yeah, that happened before. I won't worry about it. I'll wait for google to fix it."
Back to the "testfile" app / All Share case, I'm not seeing anything on what's going on there. For me, testfile is showing in Play Store on my phone as installed, but "This item isn't available". Is it there or is it not? Is it all share by another name, or is it not? Will all share still update in future? As for the only thread I can find in google about testfile (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1566097&page=2), it answers nothing for me.

I'm telling you guys this is Google way of testing how vigilant we are to bogus apps out there...

believe me its not gone. it hides under "all apps" i found it way at the bottom of all my apps ive downloaded. u have to scroll all the way down till u get to the last app and u will see it there. i thought the same thing till i checked all my apps. here is my pic to prove it. it doesnt show up under installed apps like it use to.

1Just a heads up there is a update in the market place acting like a app update! DO NOT UPDATE THIS! Will SCREW YOUR DEVICE UP! I reported it but its still showing up! Watch out mates!
Killing Zombies With My Galaxy S II1There was another thread about this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1564954
I'm trying to figure out this issue as well, even though I do not have the update appearing on my phone.
Can you try scrolling down through the reviews, to see what the original app was?
