"GHOST PUSH", The Worst Virus Affecting Over 600,000+ Android Users Per Day. by 01ghostmode: 4:16pm On Sep 27, 2015
"GHOST PUSH", does that sounds like the title of a Hollywood movie? I bet you "ghost push" is far from being that. Rather ghost push is the most sophisticated and wide spread virus ever on the android OS.
SO WHAT'S "GHOST PUSH"?

Ghost push is an Android OS virus that comes embedded in apps and shows itself as a secure and normal app so you don't ever suspect that there's anything wrong with the app. 


HOW DOES "GHOST PUSH" OPERATE?

Ghost push operates by automatically installing malicious apps into your phone without your consent, thereby spreading itself further into your phone and increasing its strength. According to experts at CM Security Research Lab, "over 600,000 android users have been affected within a single

day"

Experts at CM Security also reports that "if your phone gets the virus, it'll automatically gain the highest authority and be able to root your device and download apps like "Monkey test" and "Time service" without your permission. This behaviour will not only make your phone slow and drain your battery, but it'll also consume lots of cellular data. With "Ghost push" on your phone, it'll be able to do whatever it likes using that root access"


HOW DO I KNOW IF AM AFFECTED?

The first surest way to know if your phone is infected ifs to look out for these two apps: "Monkey Test" and" Time Service" in your application drawer. Another way you'll know your phone is infected is when you start noticing that some apps which you have no idea where they're coming from starts being installed in your phone.


HOW DO I REMOVE IT?
f you suspect your phone is infected or you see the malware "Money Test" on your phone and you try to uninstall manually, you'll be surprised that the app will still be there when next you reboot your phone, this is because the app now has root access on your phone and takes full precedence when you boot your phone. So what do I do, you might ask? The first thing you should do is to download "CM Security" from play store and use it to scan your phone, depending on how infected your phone is, this CM Security should solve the issue. But in case the malwares were not uninstalled, the guys at CM Security Lab had also developed a dedicated app particularly to deal with this "Ghost Push" malware and you can download it from HERE.


And that's it for today, but if you have ANY question not covered by this post, feel free to ask them using the comments box below.

Rem: Always stay safe whenever you are online.


BONUS:

Here's a list of apps confirmed to carry the "Ghost Push" malware:

   Word Lock          Time Service                          All-Star Fruit Slash

   Pinky Girls           Fast Booster                         Simple Flashlight

   Amazon               Indian Sexy Stories 2.           Daily Racing

   Monkey Test       Talking Tom 3                       Memory Booster

   etc.

Handled a device that showed all these symptoms, I just changed the OS and it was all good. But with this info, I may not have to go through that stress again.
