Managing an android phone can be difficult sometimes as its vulnerability to malware and bloatware should be a thing of concern for android users.

Here, I will explain steps on how to curb this frustrating occurrence on your device.

First, let us know what a malware is

"Malware is a general term used to refer to a variety of forms of hostile or intrusive software, including computer viruses, worms, trojan horses, ransomware, spyware, adware, scareware, and other malicious programs. It can take the form of executable code, scripts, active content, and other software"

In a layman view, Malware is a software virus on a device that affects its operating system and slow down its performance.

Bellow are steps to control or totally eradicate malware attacks on your android device:

The first thing is to identify the malwares on your device and to do this, go to Settings on your Menu interface and click on App or Application Manager (depending on the brand of android phone you are using). Scroll to All and you will see all the firmware(Operating system) on your device.

Note: Some of the malwares have the green android logo as seen on the picture above and not all of them are malwares. I will list out common malware and unwanted bloatware you may likely see on your device.

Common Malware/Bloatware on Android devices
1. Pornclub
2. com.android.wallpaper.provider
3. Engrils
4. Android
5. com.android.systemUI
6. Sea
7. IBingo Security
8. Adobe Air
9. Time Service
10. Monkey Test
11. Alg

If you see any of these malwares on your devices, that means you device is about to crash. Note that flashing your device to solve this issue can only stop it temporary pending when you start accessing the internet with your device. These malwares can sometimes force your Wifi and Data to activate by itself.

How to stop them?

Identify these malwares and click on each of them.

You will find an option of "Force stop" and "Disable", click both.

Note: Some can only be force stopped.

Now download "NoRoot Firewall" on Google play store and install.


Open and click on the "Start" button.

Scroll to Apps and select all your frequently used applications that can access your data connection. The NoRoot Firewall App allows you to control which applications or software have access to your internet connection.

The app has a keylock logo that always appear on your notification task bar on your device.

Note: When the NoRoot Firewall app is on, Xender or flashshare wont work until the app is disconnected.

Forget about that. It still uses high CPU power since the malware still exist in the phone.

Contact me if you want it permanently out of your phone.

You can flash your phone too to get rid of it.
Not just ordinary flash
