| Tried looking it up but it was all in Russian. I'm using android, my phone's Heat8. This trojan or something has been I. My phone for a long time. But I couldn't stand it anymore as it takes up a lot of space and shortens the lifespan of my sd card. |

| Try wiping dalvik cache and resetting phone to factory settings and don't install free apps from google play as much as possible. |

| At this Point, I would recommend buying a new Phone or at the very least: a new SD Card, completely resetting your Phone to Factory Defaults and also starting completely fresh with all your Computers, since there's also a Chance that your whole Network is compromised. Who knows from when and from where exactly it came, so you can do a complete clean Start without any old Data if you want. The other Way involves keeping if possible only Pictures and Documents from all your Devices on an external HDD, writing down important Address Data on Paper and using a Live Linux Anti-Virus System to scan the whole Drive before you place the Data back on your clean System. The third Alternative here involves having everything important printed. Then you can have the most important Data safely and securely stored and don't have to bother with scanning the Files. Also, depending on the Model, you might need to switch the Phone anyway, because many Android Phones from China and the Direction come with pre-installed Malware already. So you could use a good old classic Phone just for phoning and Stuff and do everything else with a separate Camera and use the Internet only at home.

Try wiping dalvik cache and resetting phone to factory settings and don't install free apps from google play as much as possible. I thought you could wipe dalvik cache without root. I guess it was regular cache. Anyway using a classic phone is a good suggestion you don't have to worry about malwares then. |

Malware can never be excluded even with a classic Phone, but the Difference here is that when your Phone is primitive enough that you won't even plug it in your Computer that it can't spread to any Network and infect the other Devices there as well. Or just go Apple. The iPhone without Jailbreak is fairly secure with Regards to such Attacks. Also mainly, because the App Store is more restrictive and Apps in General don't get that much Rights from the Get-Go compared to what Android Apps are allowed to do. Plus, it's much longer supported in Terms of Security. Windows Phone is also very secure, because it's quite a Niche Product. |

Anything but an android phone works tbh. |

Cnon said: I've always wanted a Flip Phone, but I never came to it. In any Case, I agree. Using Android is the easiest Way to get Malware on mobile Devices in the first Place. you can use flip phones like japan do or phones with symbian os. windows phone is a great choice too since it's relatively safe. Anything but an android phone works tbh. |
| A new SD card is kind of hard to find in the place where I live but I'll do that. I've imported data from my laptop too. So, it's my laptop infected too? I'm not seeing any difference on my laptop. I don't think it's infected, which I don't have format my laptop too?.. |

Legit tho, you have so many questions regarding your phone. Sound doesn't play properly, or cuts off. Doesn't connect to the internet. I'm pretty sure I left a comment saying "throw it away" in on of your threads before, maybe you should reconsider that advice. In any case, if the downloads keep reappearing on your SD even after you wipe, you have an APP that is causing the folders to replicate. Turn on Safe Mode on your phone, and test from here. Delete the folder on SD card, and wait a couple of days. If folder doesn't replicate during safe mode, you have a 3rd party app that is infected. Reboot phone without safe mode, and start deleting apps. (The apps that aren't too well know, ex Facebook, Chrome, etc are your primary suspects) If file replicates even during safe mode, you can't do anything about it but wipe your entire phone, or root. Also no, your PC can't be infected unless you got that virus from PC first (downloading apk file on PC and transferring it on phone) which in any case, you would know by now if your PC was infected. |
