Fevzi Turkalp, the Gadget Detective, joins Bill Buckley on BBC Berkshire to discuss the latest tech news and reviews. This week; a new scam called FluBot is attacking Android users by posing as a delivery shipping text message that tricks users into downloading a supposed tracking app which is actually malware designed to steal all your information and then spread to all the device's contacts. How can you avoid this, and other malware infections? 

Gadget of the Week is the Withings BPM Core, a 3 in 1 wireless and tubeless blood pressure monitor. Sporting a display, the device also syncs up to the accompanying Healthmate app, it also offer a basic ECG capable of detecting atrial fibrillation, and a digital stethoscope able to detect the most prevalent heart diseases. Scoring 4 out of 5, listen in for more details on this and Withings' cheaper but less function rich BPM Connect
