Why your mobile phone suddenly began to behave differently than usual, or even “lived” its own “life”? Perhaps because she settled in it malware. Today, the number of viruses and Trojans for Android is growing exponentially. Why? Yes, because the cunning virus writers know that smartphones and tablets are increasingly being used by our fellow citizens as electronic wallets, and they are doing everything to transfer funds from the owners’ accounts into their pockets. Let's talk about how to understand that your mobile device has caught an infection, how to remove a virus from Android and protect yourself from repeated infections.

Symptoms of a virus infection on an Android device

• The gadget turns on longer than usual, slows down, or suddenly reboots.
• Your SMS and phone call history contains outgoing messages and calls that you did not make.
• Money is automatically debited from your phone account.
• Ads that are not associated with any application or site are displayed on your desktop or browser.
• The programs are installed by themselves, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or the camera are turned on.
• I lost access to electronic wallets, mobile banking, or for unknown reasons the amount in my accounts decreased.
• Someone has taken over your account social networks or instant messengers (if used on a mobile device).
• The gadget is locked, and a message is displayed on the screen that you have violated something and must pay a fine or simply transfer money to someone to unlock it.
• Applications suddenly stopped launching, access to folders and files was lost, and some device functions were blocked (for example, buttons could not be pressed).
• When launching programs, messages like “an error occurred in the com.android.systemUI application” pop up.
• Unknown icons appeared in the application list, and unknown processes appeared in the task manager.
• Antivirus program informs you when malicious objects are detected.
• The antivirus program has spontaneously deleted itself from the device or does not start.
• The battery of your phone or tablet began to discharge faster than usual.

Not all of these symptoms are 100% indicative of a virus, but each is a reason to immediately scan your device for infection.

The easiest way to remove a mobile virus

If the gadget remains operational, the easiest way to remove the virus is to use the antivirus installed on Android. Run a full scan of the phone’s flash memory, and if a malicious object is detected, select the “Delete” option, saving the neutralized copy in quarantine (in case the antivirus detected something safe and mistook it for a virus).

Unfortunately, this method helps in about 30-40% of cases, since most malicious objects actively resist being removed. But there is control over them too. Next we will look at options when:

• the antivirus does not start, does not detect or does not remove the source of the problem;
• the malicious program is restored after removal;
• The device (or its individual functions) is blocked.

Removing malware in safe mode

If you can't clean your phone or tablet in normal mode, try to do it safely. The majority of malware (not just mobile ones) does not manifest itself in safe mode no activity and does not prevent destruction.

To boot your device into Safe Mode, press the On/Off button, place your finger on “Power Off” and hold it until the “Enter Safe Mode” message appears. After that, click OK.

If you have an old one Android version— 4.0 and lower, turn off the gadget in the usual way and turn it on again. When the Android logo appears on the screen, press the Volume Up and Volume Down keys simultaneously. Hold them down until the device boots up completely.

While in safe mode, scan your device with an antivirus. If there is no antivirus or it does not start for some reason, install (or reinstall) it from Google Play.

This method successfully removes advertising viruses such as Android.Gmobi 1 and Android.Gmobi.3 (according to Dr. Web classification), which download various programs to the phone (in order to increase the rating), and also display banners and advertisements on the desktop.

If you have superuser (root) rights and know exactly what caused the problem, run file manager(for example, Root explorer), follow the path where this file is located and delete it. Most often, mobile viruses and Trojans place their bodies (executable files with the .apk extension) in the system/app directory.

To switch to normal mode, simply restart your device.

Removing mobile viruses via computer

Removing viruses on a phone via a computer helps when a mobile antivirus cannot cope with its task even in safe mode or the device’s functions are partially blocked.

There are also two ways to remove a virus from a tablet and phone using a computer:

• using an antivirus installed on a PC;
• manually through a file manager for Android gadgets, for example, Android Commander.

Using antivirus on your computer

To check files mobile device antivirus installed on your computer, connect your phone or tablet to the PC with a USB cable, selecting the “As a USB drive” method.

Then turn on USB.

After this, 2 additional “disks” will appear in the “Computer” folder on the PC - internal memory phone and SD card. To start scanning, open context menu each disk and click “Scan for viruses”.

Removing malware using Android Commander

Android Commander is a program for exchanging files between an Android mobile gadget and a PC. When launched on a computer, it provides the owner with access to the memory of a tablet or phone, allowing you to copy, move and delete any data.

For full access to all the contents of the Android gadget, you must first obtain root rights and enable USB debugging. The latter is activated through the service application “Settings” - “System” - “Developer Options”.

Next, connect the gadget to your PC as a USB drive and run Android Commander with administrator rights. In it, unlike Windows Explorer, protected system files and Android OS directories - just like, for example, in Root Explorer - a file manager for root users.

The right half of the Android Commander window shows the directories of the mobile device. Find the executable file of the application (with the extension .apk) that is causing the problem and delete it. Alternatively, copy suspicious folders from your phone to your computer and scan each of them with an antivirus.

What to do if the virus is not removed

If the above operations did not lead to anything, the malicious program still makes itself felt, and also if the operating system ceases to function normally after cleaning, you will have to resort to one of the radical measures:

• reset with restoration of factory settings through the system menu;
• hard reset via the Recovery menu;
• reflashing the device.

Any of these methods will return the device to the same condition as after purchase - there will be no traces left on it. user programs, personal settings, files and other information (data about SMS, calls, etc.). Your account Google. Therefore, if possible, transfer phone book to your SIM card and copy paid apps and other valuable items to external media. It is advisable to do this manually - without using special programs so as not to accidentally copy the virus. After this, begin the “treatment”.

Restoring factory settings through the system menu

This option is the simplest. It can be used when the functions operating system and the device itself is not blocked.

Go to the “Settings” application, open the “Personal” section - “ Backup" and select "Reset to factory settings".

Hard reset via Recovery menu

A “hard” reset will help deal with the malware if it is not removed by any of the above methods or has blocked login. To our joy, access to the Recovery menu (system recovery) is retained.

Logging into Recovery works differently on different phones and tablets. On some, to do this, you need to hold down the “Volume +” key when turning on, on others - “Volume -”, on others - press a special recessed button, etc. The exact information is contained in the instructions for the device.

In the Recovery menu, select the option “wipe data/ factory reset"or simply "factory reset".

Flashing

Flashing is essentially reinstalling the Android OS, the same last resort as reinstalling Windows on the computer. It is resorted to in exceptional cases, for example, when a certain Chinese virus implemented directly into the firmware and lives on the device from the moment of its “birth”. One such malware is spyware. android program spy 128 origin.

To flash a phone or tablet, you will need root rights, a distribution kit (the firmware itself), an installation program, a computer with a USB cable or an SD card. Remember that each gadget model has its own individual firmware versions. Installation instructions are usually included with them.

How to avoid virus infection of Android devices

• Install mobile applications only from trusted sources, refuse hacked programs.
• Update your device as system updates are released - in them, developers close vulnerabilities that are exploited by viruses and Trojans.
• Install a mobile antivirus and keep it always on.
• If your gadget serves as your wallet, do not allow other people to use it to access the Internet or open unverified files on it.
