Kizu Posted January 28, 2019 ID:1295041 Share Posted January 28, 2019 "TopBuzz" only shows up when I go into my storage device cleaner in my settings, during the brief few seconds where It scans and cleans storage space and cache. But I've never installed the TapBuzz app, and it's not anywhere in my apps either. I've looked through various files in solid explorer, and through all my applications lists. According to a few Malwarebytes scans, it didn't detect anything suspicious either. I've also used Sd Maid to try and locate anything with TopBuzz in it, but there was nothing. Afterwards, I tried getting the app to see if that had any effect. When I tried going into my settings and did the device storage cleaning again, TopBuzz was not listed. But it came back when I deleted the app again. The only place where the name shows up is in the device cleaner that came with my Galaxy s9 plus in my settings. I'm not sure if it could be harmful, but so far it hasn't had much effect besides apparently taking up slight cache space. No ads, sudden pop-ups, randomly installed apps, etc. Could it be harmful?

mbam_mtbr Posted January 28, 2019 ID:1295112 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Hi @Kizu, It could just be that it's cached storage from TopBuzz, but the app isn't installed. You may to try installing the TopBuzz app from Google Play, clearing the cache/data, then uninstalling again. If that doesn't work, or if it claims it's already installed, let me know.

Kizu Posted January 28, 2019 Author ID:1295154 Share Posted January 28, 2019 @mbam_mtbr It still appears after doing what you said. I've tried clearing both cache and data for the app and the lite version of the app, and then uninstalling. It still shows up in the device cleaner when clearing any cache Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
