Hi,

It started as a persistent malware virus on my windows 10 machine and slowly creeped into our network, verified this by probing out our devices on our network and found we where getting hit by constant hidden IPs on a certain machine which was our Sony tv that has a thing called Bravia which is somewhat constantly open on the internet.

Anyways long story short, It's hit my phone and currently controls all permissions, fakes apps off the play store, no scanner can find it and nothing not even a reformat / full erase can remove it.

 

Please help!

also it creates fake virtual homepages, ive seen this on rare occassion by hitting the back button a few times and the background would just change to the default or even go black and then back to normal.

Hi @trojanagenthelppls,

Sounds like this could be browser related.  This is caused by the way most browsers handle redirections executed by javascript code.  Most browsers don't do a great job of preventing these redirects, which also cause ad pop-ups.  Advertising affiliates are aware of this, and exploit this weakness.  Even if an advertising affiliate is shut down for using this exploit, they just come back with a different affiliate id and are right back at it.

The best way to block these pop-ups are to try a different browsers, disable javascript, install a browser with ad blocking (like Opera), and/or install Ad-block Plus.

If you encounter these pop-ups again, back out of them using Android's back key. Also, clearing your history and cache will help stop the ads from reoccurring.

If this doesn't work, you can send me an Apps Report and I can look into it further.
