[Malware found: Android Trojan Dropper - can't be removed]

Hi Armando,

 

Following Usalyn827 post above, I too deleted version 1.04.3.5 and installed version 1.05.1.1000 and the scan doesn't pick up Fota as a problem anymore. The scan came back clean.

 

Thank you for your help and feedback,

[Malware found: Android Trojan Dropper - can't be removed]

Hello All,

 

Just updated my mobile Malwarebytes today and it instantly flagged up that it found 1 malware.  I selected it to be deleted and the message said that the removal was unsuccessful.

 

I have found that the App sits under settings 'About Phone' and is the Wireless update. I'm not sure if it's a false positive or embedded malware.  If it's malware, what options are available to me?

 

Details:

 

Malwarebytes Version: 1.04.3.5

 

Malware found:  Android/Trojan.Dropper.Agent.w

 

File:  /system/app/AdupsFota.apk

 

App name:  Wireless update

 

 

About Phone info

'Wireless update' details:    Current: CUBOT S108_4600K0P2_CQ10_4031C_V005

Phone manufacturer / make:   Cubot S108

Android version:   4.2.2

 

Phone isn't rooted

 

Thank you for any feedback / help

 

Regards,
