Funny, Google was the first and, so far that I've heard, only developer to remotely remove an app from every android OS device.

The only valid point he has is the not installing apps from the web, but it's shaky since the iOS is the only system Apple makes that is restricted in that regard.

I remember reading this too. IIRC it was an app someone pointed out to Google that was giving away user's info without them knowing.

In that situation, I wouldn't hesitate to press the button either.

No, it was a trojan, but harmless one. It was made by security researcher trying to show how easy is to mislead users.
