Its not virus jhoor. The app you installed recently is responsible for it. If the app is removed your phone will be okay. That why after you did factory reset the problem is solved. 1 Like |

symbianDON, IkennaBasilJR, callydon, destino24, Hayjaycity. please help the problem still persist. I am still seeing strange app and games, after the factory reset. can it be from my memory card or WiFi? I have two phone and I use WiFi hotspot from one to the other. when I factory set the phone and put on the WiFi to connect to the other it warns me of danger if I trust the connection which I tick yes. what else can I do? |

destino24:before reformating. I backup all app to memory card. including the strange apps. than after that. I restore all few trusted app that I have been using in the past without problem on my phone. I did not restore any recent app that might cause the virus. |

Joel3: I need the list of apps installed on your phone now |

destino24:although they are many. but I can assured you that they are clean. I use them before without issues. the only app I can't speak for is orbit. orfox and orweb |

Re: My Phone Is Downloading Apps Anonymously To My Phone. by destino24(m): 5:31pm On Jan 11, 2016 |
Joel3: Well, I think the problem is from one of the apps |
Re: My Phone Is Downloading Apps Anonymously To My Phone. by symbianDON(m): 10:18am On Jan 12, 2016 |
Joel3:i have told you what the problem is: your phone is infected with push ghost virus and a simple factory reset, if you like do it a million times, won't remove it! you are still lucky the phone is still usable. soon that virus will hijack your phone completely. i honestly advise you to head to playstore immediately and download stubborn trojan remover/push ghost trojan remover. if you are lucky scanning your phone with the app will remove the viruses. if that doesn't work report it here and i will tell you what next to do. 1 Like |

symbianDON:Bros, simply follow d tutorial on this link to get the app that'll remove d "Ghost Push" virus that is attacking your phone. here's d link: http://www.oddytech.com.ng/2015/09/ghost-push-worst-virus-affecting-over.html?m=0 |
Re: My Phone Is Downloading Apps Anonymously To My Phone. by symbianDON(m): 12:56pm On Jan 12, 2016 |
callydon:op just download the stubborn trojan remover/ghost push virus remover from playstore. it is the same thing callydon posted on his website. nothing different. the hard truth is, however, the app DOESN'T always remove all the viruses! trust me, there is more that one virus on your phone. if the app doesn't remove all the virus simply let us know here and i will tell you what next to do. |

The problem is caused by an app you deliberately installed which is camouflaging as a legit app and doing the damage discretely. Until you detect the culprit it will just keep on doing it's thing. You're part of the problem coz you're backing up the bad app & restoring it too. Since the apps in your phone are numerous & you can't name all here then I'll advice you backup your pics, music, videos, contacts, text, WhatsApp, BBM etc (notice that am calling basically social media apps that are massively known) then format the phone again. This should take your phone to it's original state, you can restore your media but I'll advise you restore only the known social media apps. Then henceforth download apps only from play store as well as desist from installing useless apps |

Download clean master and disable autostart in all your apps. |

symbianDON:I download sturbon Trojan killer. the scan didn't find any thing. the situation still persist. |
Re: My Phone Is Downloading Apps Anonymously To My Phone. by Nobody: 11:27am On Jan 17, 2016 |
What are you doing with orbit orweb and whatnot? Do factory reset and use necessary apps for the main time. Delete all those apps you backed up |

Joel3: What's the name of the phone? |
Re: My Phone Is Downloading Apps Anonymously To My Phone. by Joel3(m): 3:09pm On Jan 18, 2016 |
Phoenix619:mtn smart |
Re: My Phone Is Downloading Apps Anonymously To My Phone. by Nobody: 3:31pm On Jan 18, 2016 |
Joel3:Dunno of that one. Maybe you should flash custom or stock rom. But I doubt if any would be available. Another thing is wifi connection. Some stock apps automatically download apps over Wi-Fi. So try using mobile data. Is the phone rooted? |
Re: My Phone Is Downloading Apps Anonymously To My Phone. by mymissingrib(m): 5:58pm On Jan 18, 2016 |
DAT phone is gone same thing happened to my sister phone even after manual flashing it was still d same;I took it to an engineer to flash still same same |

Phoenix619:the WiFi I use is my other phone. and the phone don't have this problem. the phone is not roosted. |
Re: My Phone Is Downloading Apps Anonymously To My Phone. by Nobody: 7:02pm On Jan 18, 2016 |
Joel3: Well you need to root it before that antivirus works. Download kingroot and see if it can root. Then use that antivirus again |
