Phenix app virus keeps downloading itself into my phone

This is the only app that has blocked virus apps from getting installed by itself. I had used all sorts of antivirus, Malwarebytes, even did a factory reset to get rid of these viruses but they were getting install by itself. NoRoot Firewall is the only app that has resolved this issue. Thank you once again I specially created this account just to thank you.

I'm wondering if you have an apple phone. Is it redownloading apps you've already purchased. Even free apps? Did you see and try the updated answer about how to install and run Malwarebytes when you haven't got Google Play Store?

Hi, Download the Malwarebytes 2. I created because Master Techs has too many wanna be techs. By the way, the reason why some viruses are cannot be uninstalled is because they have placed themselves in the system directory and for you to remove them you either need to remove them with an application which has root access or another way.

I have a similar problem, using any malware software does not detect any problem, I uninstall the 3 applications on my phone 'go security, ace cleaner and superb cleaner' these three application no matter what I do keep re-installing after rebooting my phone. I have uninstalled them successfully. I had this issue either after uninstalling Go Security or security. I cannot remove them, I have tried removing the directories but something is hidden on my phone and I cannot find the source for it which keeps installing them, my mobile boots up saying optimising app 1 of It is something that advertisers have probably secretly put on the applications which the software developers cannot trace so the applications end up being placed deep into the phone.

But I am not sure of the source. Mogilisetty Naidu. I had the same problem of random apps getting installed without my permission on my samsung s7. Tried factory reset, changing google password, mcafee and malawarebytes.

None helped. So you're saying that from now until I leave T-Mobile the app selector Facebook and T-Mobile playing will be downloaded over and over and over and over and over again no matter how many times I uninstall it or how many times I try to block it out? I just want to be very clear that I don't want to use any of these things I have no interest in getting into these things I do not want them. And yet they're going to be forced upon me forever now even though I've been with T-Mobile before and this has never happened before?

I'm also experiencing this issue. Apps from T-Mobile are randomly installing on my device and I don't want them installed. I've erased them and they come back.

I think its appselector doing it and it's starting to make me angry. I don't care about your services if I wanted to use it I would down load the app.

I'm calling in to customer service to fix this issue today and unsubscribe from any services that might be installing apps on my phone or I will either leave tmobile or get unlocked phones from now on and not use tmobile branded financed devices. Agreed, I don't want this Spyware crap reinstalling on my phone. Facebook keeps reappearing after removal.

I will be complaining to the FCC about this. The virus may then be able to insert new, malicious code on your device that can monitor and manipulate your online activity. Malware can steal your information, make your device send SMS messages to premium rate text services, or install adware that forces you to view web pages or download apps. Info stealers can steal your contact list, your personal information, your location, your passwords, and more.

With the aid of malware, cybercriminals can access your devices and steal your information for their own use or to sell on the dark web. Hackers also use ransomware to lock devices and encrypt personal data. Then they can demand a ransom payment from the victim in order to regain access to their files. Phones can be vulnerable to damage externally and internally. While the external damage is usually visible, internal damage is usually hidden from view.

Malware like viruses are known to perform repeated tasks that can take up resources on your devices. Signs of malware may show up in these ways. There are many antivirus software choices available on the market. Some are free, and some are sold. An incomplete scan could give you a false sense of security when, in fact, your device could be vulnerable to cyberattacks. Norton Mobile Security for Android is one product you might consider.

Here are a few steps you can take. You can get a virus from clicking links you don't recognize, or downloading sketchy apps. A common method for hackers to load viruses and malware on your iPhone is via iMessage.

Plainly put, your iPhone will be acting strangely. Devices with viruses or malware are often slow, and can hijack normal functionality, like search. This is why removing viruses from iPhone or iPad is so important.

If your phone is acting abnormally, consider what links you may have clicked recently. You should also think about which apps you've recently downloaded. Apps are a direct way for hackers to gain entry to your phone, and it's not always as direct as it seems. Developers often use snippets of code called APIs that are open source to access services in the cloud, and hackers have been known to inject malware and viruses into APIs.

Though this article will show you how to clean your iPhone from virus threats, prevention is still the best path forward. Apple does a really good job of keeping the iOS ecosystem locked. Code developers submit is also checked routinely for suspicious API calls or strange text.

When the review team detects an issue, they communicate with the developer. Fraudulent charges: Some forms of trojans may drive up your phone bill with in-app purchases and text charges to premium accounts which hackers can then collect on.

Apps crashing: If the software on your phone is compromised, it can cause apps to repeatedly crash. Unrecognizable apps: When you see apps that were mysteriously downloaded, they may be a malicious form of malware.

Trojan horses can also attach themselves to legitimate applications and cause further damage. Spam texts: A common form of malware that can be found on a cell phone will gather sensitive data and attempt to also infect your contacts by sending texts with dangerous links and attachments. Types of Mobile Viruses The most common mobile viruses are adware, ransomware, spyware, trojan horses, and worms.

Adware: While some pop-ups are an expected part of marketing promotions, an influx can be a sign of adware.

At its worst, it can track activities and root your device to steal data. A ransom is then demanded for files to be released.

Spyware: Spyware is often attached to seemingly legitimate applications. It then loads itself onto your device and tracks your activity, location, usernames, and passwords. Trojan horse: A trojan horse on your cell phone will typically appear as a text message. Most recently, a banking trojan infiltrated Android devices and intercepted messages about personal financial information.

How to Remove a Virus From an iPhone While the operating system on an iPhone tends to be secure, viruses can still pervade built in security measures, especially on jailbroken phones. Step 1: Clear your browsing data and history. Select settings, choose your primary browser, tap clear history and website data.

Step 2: Restore your phone to a backup version. Select settings, then Apple ID, and choose iCloud. Select manage storage, then backups.
