Vodafone has announced new recharge packs for its users due to the ongoing price war and decreasing user base in the telecom sector. Earlier, users had to recharge their numbers with minimum recharge packs of Rs 35, Rs 65 or Rs 95. If users do not recharge with one of this minimum recharge or any other regular packs with validity, then their incoming calls are also closed after 45 days. In such a situation, Vodafone has launched low-cost minimum recharge packs, giving relief to the users.

According to media reports, Vodafone has launched new recharge packs of Rs 20, Rs 30 and Rs 50. In all these recharge packs, users are also being offered full talk time with a validity of 28 days. Apart from this, a small recharge pack of Rs 10 has also been launched. However, in this pack, users get talk time of Rs 7.47. At the same time, the company has launched several recharge packs last month. These include an all-rounder plan of Rs 45. In this plan, users are charged a call rate of 1 paise per second. Apart from this, in the all-rounder pack of Rs 95, users are charged a call charge at the rate of 1 paise per second. In this too, full talk time is offered to the user.

Android users have always been complaining of apps affected by viruses and malware. In the coming days, we hear some news in which a new virus is detected. Now new news is coming in which some Android users have complained about the malware. They say that even after deleting the malware, it is automatically installed on the phone. At the same time, even if the phone is factory reset, it gets reinstalled on the phone. This malware is named Xhelper. Over 45 thousand Android devices have been affected by this malware in the last 6 months.

Symantec’s latest report states that Xhelper malware is affecting about 131 devices every day and about 2,400 Android devices every month. The users most affected by this are present in India, America, and Russia. This malware enters the user’s phone through a third-party app. A Malwarebytes report states that it is the source of web redirects. It sends users to the web page that hosts the Android app. From here, users get information about how to side-load unofficial Android apps. The code hidden in such apps downloads the xHelper trojan. Users make money: Reports say that it is not causing much harm to users. It shows popup advertisements and notification spam. By clicking on these, the users are redirected to the Play Store. Here they are asked to install the app. From this, it can be inferred that this malware is making money through the ‘Pay-Per-Install’ Commission, that means that the more apps downloaded, the more malware gang will get money.

Jack Dorsey, CEO of the microblogging website Twitter, has decided to stop all political advertising on its platform globally. Jack Dorsey has also made some tweets for this. Dorsey has explained the reason behind this decision. He has stated that such advertisements were dominating on the Internet and were proving to be very effective for commercial advertisers. For business advertisements, it can still be called fine, but in politics, it can be a big risk. At the same time, Facebook has said earlier that it will not stop advertisements like this.

Political advertisements on social media platforms are becoming a concern globally on the news of foreign interference in the 2016 US presidential elections. Dorsey said that such challenges are affecting not only political advertising but all types of Internet communication. It also said that the company will issue the final policy regarding this decision by 15 November. This decision will be implemented on 22 November. Advertisers will also be given notice periods before implementing it. The largest platforms for political advertising include companies such as Facebook, Twitter, and Google. These companies globally have tried to bring transparency in the process of releasing data for political advertisements. Dorsey said that we need more rules for political advertising which is quite difficult.

Currently, India is also struggling to deal with the issues of political advertising. The government has also asked for framing of rules for social media firms regarding a matter. Let me tell you that Dorsey’s tweets have received a lot of support. Many Twitter users have also tagged Facebook in response to their tweets.
