How to remove “Your device has been blocked” ransomware from an Android tablet of phone? Ransomware notifications (that are impossible to close) are loaded from third party rogue applications. For example: BaDoink, VideoViewer, VideoPlayer, Network Driver System, Video Render, and PornDroid among many others. To eliminate the screen-blocking message, you must uninstall the rogue application which causes it. Boot your Android device into Safe Mode: 1. Hold down the power button on your device. 2. In the opened notification window, long-press the "Power off" option. 3. In the opened window, confirm that you wish to boot into Safe Mode by tapping "OK". 4. When your phone or tablet reboots, you should see a "Safe Mode" watermark (at the bottom of the screen). Go to your device Settings menu, tap “Apps” or “Application manager”. Touch the application you wish to uninstall (which causes the rogue ransom-demanding message to appear on your device, for example, PornDroid). more details from http://www.pcrisk.com/computer-technician-blog/viruses/8432-how-to-remove-android-ransomware-viruses 2 Likes |
