Malware

[Zan2019]

I have Malwarebytes on my Alcatel android phone.  For the past 2 months it says Malware found.  The malware is listed as Android/Adware.TCTWeather, System Application, Weather.  When I click on Remove selected, I get a message that says  Disable system app,  Weather is a system app and cannot be uninstalled.  Please disable this app manually and we will automatically add it to whitelist.  How do I disable manually and what is a whitelist?

Hi @Zan2019,

We've seen this before: 

 

You can use this method to remove.

Use this commands at step 7 under Uninstalling Adups via ADB command line to remove:

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.tct.weather
