Malware Alert: How to stop Annoying Apps from installing on your phones.






What is a malware?

'Malware' is an umbrella term used to refer to a variety of forms of hostile or intrusive software, including computer viruses, worms, trojan horses, ransomware, spyware, adware, scareware, and other malicious programs.


Common Malware/Virus you may likely see on your smartphone include:





Android
com.android.systemUI
Time Service
Monkey Test
Engrils
System
Back
Adobe air
Omacp
Battery Doctor
com.android.wallpape­r. provider
Ibingo security
SMS Manager
Bcrservice
Sea
Google update
Pornclub
Security plugin
Pac processor. Etc

Some of the listed are bloatware and they are irrelevant to your smartphone. They give easy access of virus to your phone.

Note: Not all Green Android symbol are malware. Most of them are firmware(Operating system) so just search for the ones I listed.

To search for any of these malware,
--Go to settings
--Click App
--Scroll to "ALL" and you will see a list of both firmware and malware. --Tap any of the ones I listed one by one.
--Force stop and disable.

After that,

---Go to play store and download "Noroot firewall", install and open. ---Click on the start and tick the box on the pop up dialogue box that says "I trust this application" and activate "auto on boot". ----Scroll to App on the top bar.

----Tick the Application you frequently use.

Applications that use the internet, like the social media app, Online banking app, browsing app and so on.

This means they will have access to your internet connection

That is all.

Watch as other apps and malware appear on your notification bar for internet access. Deny or allow. Only allow the app you know.

Note: Disconnect No root Firewall if you want to send app via Flash share or Xender. Then connect immediately when you are done.
