I'm having an issue with my UMX android phone with some sort of adware virus I believe. I use Google Chrome as my main browser and for the last few months, when I click on Google Chrome and even when I'm not using Google Chrome it redirects me to weird websites like hastopic.com and weekhot.codeblogbt.com and random apps like ThemeLightBlue or YourTube that hijack my phone screen with some sort of Tarot game. This also makes my phone run really slow. I've cleared all chrome history and data and factory reset my phone 3 times. Each time I factory reset it, it starts doing the same thing ranging

Actually I was using an app from a third party site. Scanned it with Malwarebytes and it didn't detected anything, Neither with the apk nor with the installed app. Today I scanned the apk with virustotal and it is showing me 3 detections. Here is the result: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/8d8271e6dfbb750d2a1e61e4cfd4b15a443c517ad13598340d940a64f47c64c5/detection I don't really understand what are these detections. Are these detections very serious? Actually I didn't gave the app any permissions by myself. Is it possible that due to these detections/malware in app it might have g

Good morning I wanted to consult with a member of malwarebytes to help me with a problem that I have had for a long time, it is that I have a virus that is installed only on my cell phone even after having restarted it from the factory, what happens is that applications are installed With names like Calendar, Settings, Game store and the one that always appears and apparently is the strongest one called gooysf, apart from this, the browsers only open to a page called hastopic.com and also to the playstore to applications Like alibaba, when I try to type on the keyboard sometimes it closes on i

Hi, Since a few weeks, I noticed a strange behavior in Firefox for android : at first when I when I wanted to type in the search box for example "sony", after the letters "s" an "o" were displayed, it opened the site "soamsung.com", and because I enabled URL filter in my antivirus (Dr. Web), I was redirected towards a warning page about "Not recommended websites". The same happened when I typed something beginning by "er": it opened "erbay.com", but this was blocked by URL filter as well. There was other examples like this, I begin to type, then I'm redirected. So I uninstalled Firef

(Sprint S10 Android) Hello sorry for bothering you all again but it seems I have a different problem now too, Recently I've noticed googleads . g . doublclick . net showing up recently on my Blokada logs, I know this is a legitimate Google ad server but it just showing up from time to time isn't the problem. I've noticed it in multiple apps that either have their own ad domains or app that are opensource and I can guarantee do not have ads of any kind, yet when open spam that adress. When I dont have those apps open it tries to reach googleads about every hour despite not doing anyt

I have found 2018 references in forum to a 'malwarebytes app' in Amazon Appstore, and reports of people successfully using it, albeit seemingly on older models of Fire. However, I can find nothing of this kind in Appstore on my Kindle. Have I missed something between 2018 & now which means M'bytes can't be made to work on later Kindle Fire? (Only just signed up to a premium sub, so am just putting M'bytes on devices). Anything happening to enable M'bytes on Fire?? Any workarounds?? Tx

(Sprint S10 Android 9, own full Malwarebytes with all protection options enabled) Recently I've noticed a few suspicious domains in Blokada, and they first started out while using and after stopping the Sprint Mobile Hotspot but have recently just been spammed regardless of any factor. They are c00161-dl. urbanairship . com remote-data. urbanairship . com device-api. urbanairship . com I tried using theNet Monitor app, but once I turned that on the domains basically dissapeared until I stopped the app, then came back. While using the Net Monitor I didn't see anything other than t

I got a notification saying that I need to update my virus definitions, so I opened the app, and lo and behold, there was a big blue button on the dashboard under the "critical issues" section, prompting me to update the malware database. I clicked on it, and it did that little thing that touch screen buttons do when clicked on... and nothing else. I waited for a while, clicked the button again, restarted the app, restarted my phone, tried again, and still got nothing more than a ripple. While I was looking for solutions to the issue on the forums, I saw that the update had completed.

Dear Malwarebytes, I would like to ask about the "Device Administrator" option in Malwarebytes for Android app. I understand that this option exists mainly in order to prevent MB being uninstalled by malware and to assist the user during ransomware attack. My question is, does this option also affect the Malwarebytes ability to scan the apps installed in the system root partition? That is, is there a possibility that if the user does not grant the Device Administrator privileges then MB won't have enough permissions to scan the content of the system partition, and malware that insta

Virgin Mobile Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) [SM-A530W] Android version 9 Phone is not rooted. No other security software running. I am unable to add any apps to the whitelist. I can view the whitelist, but that is it. I cannot figure out how to edit it in any way. As it is now, it is just blank. Nothing is in the whitelist. Long pressing apps in the, "App Manager" section does nothing other than go to that app's info within MBAM. From there I can go into Android's app info section where I can either uninstall or force stop. On the scanner page all I can do is remove

I have been using Adhell 3 for the last 7 months. Today, opening it to take care of a new exception on my Galaxy A8 (2018) running Oreo 8.0 with Samsung Experience level 9.0, it was determined to be a banking Trojan by Malwarebytes. Not sure if it is or not as before today, despite daily scanning by Malwarebytes, it has not triggered an alarm. Just to be safe, uninstalled meantime. Scan said that file: android/trojan.banker.asacub.cp was detected in the program. Am attaching a screenshot of the initial scan report. Not sure if it was part of a recent update or not that "something"

It can't be removed directly because it is system-app. password is infected. Thanks Makeup.zip

My device (Tecno W2) with Android 6.0 Marshmallow is infected with a trojan virus. The first symptom I noticed was that Chrome will just open a random webpage, even if I close it, it will open up again, so I had to disable Chrome. Then, other things started happening like sudden display of random images on the home screen, and the images are also downloaded and saved on the device. I did a factory reset, but the virus is still there, so I now know it's in the root file. After the factory reset, once I connect to the internet, it will install an app called Magic, and then start downloading thos

My app is a system application with systemuid, the package name is com.qiku.android.ota.Scan found a problem with Android/backdoor.coolreaper.a Then I wrote a simple helloworld application.The application’s packagename is com.qiku.android.ota,but the scan shows the same problem. So I think this package name might be on your blacklist.I don't know why. This app does not do anything that violates the rules. Can you help me remove this package name from the blacklist? My packagename is com.qiku.android.ota! Thank you very much!!

I want to move from my installed app and license on my LG V20, with Oreo to another device but I don't want to disable the app, only deactivate the license. I plan to go back and forth and I don't want to re-install the app itself. I can deactivate the license on my desktop and move to my laptop and back again but can't find the deactivate option on my LG. I have 4 licenses and a lot of devices. TIA Phil

I am using the premium trial of malwarebytes for android. It found this trojan during a full scan and "successfully" removed it. However, this trojan constantly returns, as the real-time protection detects it every now and then. I have been running full scans over and over. Sometimes, it is clean; other times, I see android/backdoor.triada.n. I have located the folders, where the scanner detects the malware, and manually delete the folders; but whenever android/backdoor.triada.n resurfaces, those folder also comes back. Is this really malware? I do not even use the fire hd after a clean s

Hi everyone, I'd like to know if there is a way to detect special spyware. malware, trojans, keyloggers..and more...created by the biggest ethical hackers worlwide for government's agencies like cia, nsa, all secret agencies worlwide?

It's written that these tools are done by th

I have a Sprint Slate tablet and it is driving me crazy. Most times I use it for playing a game (Fire Emblem Warriors) and it gets minimal use otherwise. After I turn it on to the game the screen goes black, goes to the lock screen and I have to unlock it to play the game. This can happen too many times to count-sometimes around 50. Also, at times icons have disappeared . When I am playing the game often the tablet freezes and I have to turn it off and then back on to continue. This tablet has never been connected to wi fi and I have been very careful about the websites I visit, which ar

For past few days any time I use Google Chrome on my Samsung S8 I see a box displaying "us.prioritized456be.top" and a recording speaking Latin-like gibberish for 10-15 seconds. A display then says "Cleaner Update for Samsung recommended" "Install suggested antivirus product for free to clean your Samsung immediately" with the buttons Instalar and Cancelar. Sure seems like a virus to me even though I only use apps from Google Playstore, don't use my Chrome browser often except for legitimate search or news sites. Also, have Malwarebytes Premium on this phone since Jan 5 2018 and its sta
