LostShaolin #1 Posted August 20 So I'm trying to remove an infection called pup.riskware.autoins.fota.ins on my Android which is called Access Wireless (Android version 7.1.1) Model TW801 and after following the instructions here from this link https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/216616-removal-instructions-for-adups/ At step number 5, I typed in the command "adb shell pm list packaged -f", but it giving me a message saying "adb is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file". Could it have something to do with the environment path? I understand it said I must set a path and then it mentions: (Path is usually C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools\) but I'm not sure what this means? I coped that in system under values and just made up a value name titled ADB, but that didn't work. Is there something I'm doing that's incorrect regarding the path? If so, what do I have to do? Thanks for any help out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will ask this forum's management to move your topic to the most appropriate subforum for an Android powered product.

LostShaolin #3 Posted August 21 I apologize @1PW, that instruction guide was post under this section, so I assume and decided to post under this same section since my question was in response towards that. But still, anybody have an idea on why the command "adb shell pm list packaged -f" is not working on step 5? I've already finished installing Android studios. My guess is I have to put a specific path under environment variables, but I don't know what I have type or whether if it goes under "User Variables" or "System Variables" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LostShaolin #4 Posted August 21 Another update on my current status on what I've done so far, after re-reading, I think I might have a little clear understanding on what I needed to do. According to the guide with the link provided and if I'm correct on this, it seems I needed to go under System Variables and find a Variable called "Path", edit the value, add a semicolon first at the end of the path and then add C:\Users\"my username"\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools. However, even after getting all that done, now when I enter "adb shell pm list packages -f", all I get is "error: no devices/emulators found" and nothing that is listing com.adups.fota and/or com.adups.fota.sysoper.

LostShaolin #5 Posted August 21 Update so far: It seems I forgot download and install Google USB driver and that solved the error problem. After typing in adb shell pm list packages -f in command prompt, the only package names I found were package:/system/priv-app/SystemFota/SystemFota.apk=com.fota.wirelessupdate but there was not mention of com.adups.fota and/or com.adups.fota.sysoper. Should I still process towards the next step? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
