Introduction
  • Where and what kind of advertising happens.
    It happens that by installing an application, or an update to a device, an annoying advertisement appears in the blind (notification panel). Sometimes it can be seen as a pop-up banner. Sometimes advertising appears on the lock screen. It even happens that the device is completely blocked and you see a message asking you to send an SMS, or pay a bill to unblock it.All this is cheating and do not believe him! Options for such "a divorce for money" lots of. Carefully read the instructions provided in the spoilers below to get rid of malicious files that run on the device advertising banners or otherwise harm you and your device.
  • "Infection"Sewn into the firmware initially.
    Unfortunately, increasingly"malware"There are sewn into the system files of the stock (standard) firmware of the device initially. Antiviruses may often not see them, the user may not notice anything for a long time (weeks or even months), but then advertising banners or other manifestations will appear"contagion".Most often this can be observed in Chinese devices and firmware. If you are just going to buy a new gadget, be sure to visit its profile topic on our forum. It is risky to buy devices that have just appeared, then you become a pioneer and if you yourself have no experience, then there will be no one to tell you about your device. If there is a suspicion that"infection"In the firmware, carefully study the header (first message) of the profile topic on the device firmware, in turn type in the search for the topic requests:"viruses", "banner" , "advertising" . If after that you did not find out the information, ask the question in the topic itself, whether someone from the user had such a thing. Read the recommendations below to find the source. "contagion" and getting rid of it. Read the ready-made instructions of those who solved the problem and shared this solution.
  • Banners in the browser.
    Banners may also occur while browsing the browser. The most unpleasant of them appear in pop-up windows, closing the main browser window. Contain frightening butcompletely lying information that "The device is locked MVD", "There is a virus on your device", or "You need to download an important update" and the like. The pop-up window (browser tab) must be closed using the browser, without clicking on the banner itself. It is recommended after that to clear the browser cache. Below you can find links to useful applications for blocking ads and pop-up banners in browsers, as well as learn how to block ads in other ways (for example, through the hosts file).
  • Advertising in applications and on the Internet.
    Regular advertising in installed applications, or while surfing the Internet is not dangerous. But you can get rid of it by installing the necessary program to block ads. Also, ads can be removed if you buy the full version, or by installing a modified / hacked version of the application without ads, most of these versions can be downloaded from our forum. In the application topic header, they may be indicated, for example, as:"Full", "Pro", "Without advertising", "Premium", "Ad-Free" ... Or you can order to modify the application, removing advertising from it in a special topic: Club Mod APK . Keep in mind that not all applications on our forum are allowed to modify. If the profile of the program says that the version and modification are prohibited, then you can’t ask about it on the forum.
  • Do not believe what is written on the banners.
    Never trust information on pop-up banners, or other manifestation."malicious". Do not send any messages or replenish the account to anyone! All this "divorce for money" and you will not receive any promised code! Do not follow the suggested links!
  • How to quickly stop data transfer.
    If, however, you clicked on the advertising link and the download began, or the sending of your personal data (usually occurs without a request),put the phone inFlight mode which will avoid sending SMS to premium numbers. In the case when all the same SMS sent and withdrawn funds from the account, read the recommendations from the topic: Attention! SMS fraud on Android .
  • Download applications from trusted sources.
    If you downloaded the application / game and advertising banners appeared, or other manifestations"malware",not always to blame the developer. Often,"malicious"can be added to a popular application by an attacker and uploaded to the website from which you downloaded the installation file.You can not download applications and games from unverified sources! The best applications, as well as their light versions without ads, banners, sending your personal data and other things, can be downloaded from our forum.
  • Find the source of the "infection".
    The appearance of advertising banners is not always solved by simply removing any one application. When fightingcomplex "malware"the most basic thing to do is find the source"contagion".Emerging banners, advertising in the curtain, self-installing applications do not arise from nowhere. It is necessary to find the services and files that activate the appearance"contagion".Carefully read the instructions below, they have all the necessary information on how to find the root cause and get rid of it.
First steps
  • We remember how it all began.
    First of all, you need to find out which applications, or files on your device aremaliciousand get rid of them. If the "trouble" began after installing some application, or a game and you remember what was installed last - feel free to delete it.
  • We scan the device with antivirus.
    Install antivirusDr.Web.Perform a full device scan for viruses. Remember that if you do not have Root-rights, the antivirus will not be able to remove malicious files that are registered as system files (they are in the system files). Only Root devices can access the system.
  • If necessary, we get Root-access.
    Most of the tips from this topic imply Root rights on the smartphone. How to get them is written in the theme of your Android - Devices, or you can tryuniversal methods for obtaining Root rights.
  • We are looking for a source"contagion".
    If suspicious files are found on the device; Self-installing applications (which reappear after your removal) need to find a malicious source somewhere in your device (most often in the system folders) and manage the installation and download of all these files.
  • Source Search Application"contagion"and control access to the internet.
    Keep track of applications that access the Internet before the appearance of advertising, or downloading questionable files will help firewall:NoRoot Firewall.A source"contagion",It often loads ads on your device via the Internet. The firewall also blocks access to the Internet to all applications that are trying to get it and shows you those applications that made such a request to the Internet access. Gradually allow access to applications and see in the "event log" of the firewall which applications went online when advertising appeared on your device or some files were downloaded.
  • Remove ads from the notification bar.
    If an advertisement appears in the notification panel, install the application:AirPush DetectorSometimes it helps to find which of the applications send ads to the notification panel. You can try to find out from which application the notification comes by holding your finger on the notification itself in the panel and then clicking on the exclamation mark that appears to the right.
  • The best way is flashing.
    If you don’t want to receive Root on a device, or it is not yet possible for this device - flash the device. Changing the stock (default) firmware to custom (unofficial, modified) is the easiest and most effective way to combat"malware"which were installed in the firmware initially. Also to those for whom independent source search"contagion"complicated and who fears do more harmflashing is recommended.In the firmware thread on your device, find out all the instructions on how to flash the device and how to choose the firmware.

If you do not have the experience of successful communication on the protection of their rights as a consumer, it does not mean that it is not possible.
The written complaint and a "threat" to apply to the link supervisor solves the problems imposed shutdown services for 15 minutes.

If in our country we respect the rights of the people or all the people knew and were able to execute all necessary documents, then this topic is probably not suschestvalo;)

A popovodu "threats", everyone is different and not everyone can go with them to swear and "threatened" (even though it is worth doing).
