I strongly recommend that you do not put in Google “android.process.media” , because some smart has bought a domain with extension “.media” (instead of .com) . Why?

You can easily check this with the footprints or search command “site:” , putting the following in the Google search engine :

  • site:android.process.media

You will get a beautiful website full of viruses indexed in Google , do not enter because when I looked for information to create this article it was the first thing I did and I got a window full of viruses on my mobile .
