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

Good morning everyone, This is my first post here and the truth is that I am very concerned about an APK that has been downloaded without asking and consent from a web page, to my mobile I will explain myself. I was browsing the internet and the website I was on had pop-up windows that I obviously constantly remove. One of them seemed harmless to me, but when it pop-up again for the second time, Chrome asked me if I wanted to download it again. I got very worried, download something again? I have not downloaded anything and also in the download directory there wasnt anything. As

(Firefox, S10) Hi, sorry for bothering everyone again but I have a few concerns I recently went to the site clinic.meijer.com (posted straight from the Blokada log) which was the first result on Google and I have noscript installed so I allowed the sites script. It ended up not working and I close the site. I then noticed on Blokada that even minutes after closing the site and even revoking the script priveleges I saw that something was still trying to access the site. Once again the sites tab was completely closed. I then thought I had just went to the site again and forgot about it,

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 -
Hi, I just upgraded my license to 2 devices but never received a code. The existing code for my current device does not work when used on my second device (an android phone). If this does not work on android (which is weird since its included in the description) i want my money back. -
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" -
I managed to grab apk file of beautymake malware from /system/priv-app location in my android phone. When I scanned using Google Play Protect it shows that one harmful app detected. After this, I uploaded this apk file to virustotal and 25 antivirus detect it as malicious app. Please find a way to remove it from mobile. 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

I have the full version of Malwarebytes on Android. The database is now over 2 weeks out of date. The app shows a warning telling me I must update, but when I press the update button nothing happens. This has been the case for quite a few days now, is this a known issue? -
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? I ask that question because in the deepweb, some black hat are selling malicious spyware, trojans, keyloggers and many more, and the contract tells that compagnies like norton, avast, yours and all anti-malware haven't got these tools added into their database, and cannot detect them in any way... It's written that these tools are done by th -

I disabled it in settings, but I don't know what else I can do to clean this up. If I attempt to 'remove it it says 'cannot remove a system file and tells me to whitelist it. Thanks, Harrison -
