So my phone recently downloaded a fairly 'dodgy' sounding apk file when I accidentally clicked on an advert link (how do they make it so the lighest of touches on an advert link opens it up?).

As it wasnt downloaded from the play store my phone won't let me install it anyway, but I wanted to ask does the downloading of the apk still put me at risk of being infected with a virus?
