I'm with Jude on this one. At least as far as malware is concerned. Google Play Protect never flagged the mobile app as harmful and like I said, they wouldn't accept the emai-password combo I tried to use, apparently because I didn't use the one associated with said email but rather a new one I planned to use only for a Nexus account. That's what I would do if I were signing up for, say, Amazon or Disney Plus; each of them would get their own password, and that wouldn't be the same password either. So I'm glad I couldn't set up a Nexus account, even if they have no nefarious intentions themselves. Their Windows client is certainly triggering every alarm bell in my head, although thankfully I had no trouble uinstalling the Android version. I hope Mattias doesn't have to reset his machine just because I reached out to the list for help; I appologize all over the place because, in trying to help me, he likely compromised his info.
