AdControl APK: questions and answers
Can I install this APK over the version I already have?
Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.
Is the AdControl APK safe?
No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Unknown. It is signed with Android's public test key, which anyone can use. Its signing certificate is also used for apps from 4 different developers. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is aab71cc67976bfc77698e7e55ac7631f.
