How To Stop Random Apps From Automatically Installing On Your Device by Nobody: 1:04pm On Feb 03, 2016 |
They've been an increase of malware apps ravaging Android devices, this is become somewhat frustrating especially those malware apps that keeps downloading and installing random apps without your consent. While some of these apps will just be popping up random adverts in your device and feeding on your data. They've been several apps developed to tackle these malware apps, but surprisingly these apps just keeps getting stronger. So I'll show you how to uninstall it manually. Here are few popular malware apps 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 Procedures to uninstall malware apps First of all go to your phones settings, then navigate to apps, then check if you can locate any of the aforementioned apps or any other malware app that you've not been able to uninstall. Then select the app, you may notice that the uninstall option is grayed out. There's no need to be worried. Just go back to your phone settings then go to device security then device administrators, you'll see that the malware app's checkbox is checked, just uncheck it, go to apps and uninstall the annoying app. It's as easy as it looks.

isaiah9: cupid4girls: There must be one particular malware app you've not noticed yet. If your phone is rooted, use titanium backup app or es file manager to look for it. It may be a disguise system app. Find it and uninstall it. Cheers... |
