Trojan Virus Preinstalled On My Phone! by Happigirl12(f): 2:35pm On Nov 27, 2018
I found out that my phone has trojan preinstalled as apps called Scweather and wireless updates... Cuz it kept on sending popup ads to me and it was seriously annoying.

The anti malware app couldn't get rid of it and I couldn't disable it also (only force stop but its still not out). I tried factory resetting my phone but it didn't get out.

It doesn't send ads anymore now though but it could in the future or something worse. angry

I'm wondering what to do. Is rooting a good option and how do I do that? embarassed

You got two options:

1. As u suggested, ROOTING will sure eradicate the issh.

2. You may also disable the BACKGROUND DATA function in the fone. It might help with the pop-up ads.
