I had same problem.
I installed Avast back and Antitheft as well, I enabled all ( include device admin) , checked it on the site of Avast under my account. When all was enabled, first of all I removed Avast like device Administrator, disabled Antitheft and unistal rest of it via normal way. Successfully. After rebooting all Avast was away. I used SD Maid pro to clean everything and checked my status of battery and system. Avast was successfully uninstalled.
I hope it will help you the same way like it helped to me.
Thanks got it i deleted accounts on the avast website

I think it should be deactivated first from device administrators in security settings...

Yes I said it above..but Im using Avast! and Im fully satisfied. So my experience is here only from the reason I tried to uninstall Avast like test. ( In windows you need special uninstall. utility). In mobile no. Deactivating admin is enough. After uninstall is good to delete all Avast data via Root Explorer. ( It was working for me excellently). No trace after Avast..
But Im using Avast again and I cant complain ( Avast pro)

After rooting i used root explorer to remove some "clutter" apps but i can find where i can remove these items? Any one know where i checked system/app but they are not there? Also is dell sync required?
Thanks
i just checked mine and the apps are there. i use titanium backup to uninstall what i don't need.
What are they titled? And they are under system/app ? Also cant you only delete with titanium pro? not the free which i have tried and there doesnt seem to be that option?
hmm never mind i see them now, under the backup tab if i click i can delete What about dell sync is that required?
From the 2.2.2 stock rom I was able to remove oovoo and anything labled Roxio/Nero without any issue. I left the Stage software installed.
I remove sync and welcome every time i setup and for the first time just froze stage

What do you mean "froze" stage? Anything else that can deleted that extra crap is cool so if you have removed stuff and nothing critical happened let me know ppl.
I use titanium backup to remove apps. You can also freeze apps so they don't run but are still on the phone

I install ADWLauncher EX before unistall and delet all the bloatware plus all Dell Stage UI using Root Explorer and my device works fast and smooth without any problem
Hello, would appreciate help. I didn't care about warranty issues so I installed stock 4.3 on my international n7105 using the Kies update and rooted it and all works perfectly. I installed the new version of SuperSU and it asked me to remove Knox which I did. All seemed perfect and rooted programs like TItanium Backup and others are working perfectly. HOWEVER, I then tried to use tasker to access secure settings rooted parts of "parition lock" and also "VPN root" to setup auto vpn and with both of these apps I am told they fail to run the task and get the "unauthorized access..." notification telling me to "click here" I do and nothing happens. I have frozen all aspects of Knox in Titanium backup and still these programs are being blocked.
Any suggestions on how to disable it completely? Am I missing something? I want full control.
Thanks!
There's also an app called "ELM and somewhat" and "security policy update (or something)(with a white/grey shield)". This must be freezed too.
I use my Note in an other language so the apps names could be diffrent, sorry for that.
I have rooted my Note II without any KNOX warranthy void and without annoying messages.
I rooted my note this way:
-I have tapped 7 times on kernel version in settings/about device
-Than I choose developper options and tick on USB DEBUGGING
-pressed the home button
-now I started a program on my PC called KINGOROOT (you can download it here: http://limelinx.com/7j76)
-Run the program and give shell root permission. Wait untill 'finished' shows up on the pc
-Open SuperSu and disable KNOX
-Open Titanium Backup and freeze al knox related things + the ELM thing + security policy update (white/grey shield)
- Now you are completely free. Root without any pop ups and nodifications!
-And an extra: download (the latest) XPOSE installer with Wanam module.
You can make your system status official so you can receive OTA updates and you also can unable your favourite apps in multiwindow.
This should be in the Q and A section... not in dev

I think they are system app and auto updated when u connect to wifi. So dont need to worry.
i dont think so, infoprovided installed again and cleanmaster says its virus
also malwarebytes finds system upgrade app as a malware

Before you noticed the apps installed, had you installed any other apps from google play or from apk files?
I've had apps in past that showed ads and when i tried to click out of them they auto installed other apps in background.
Just out of curiosity, have you tried uninstalling them? and if yes did they come back?
And I maybe wrong on this but I think google play checks the apps on it's store for virus's, so see if the apps you mentioned are on the play store, if they are not, then it being downloaded from another source.
If thats the case, you really need to backtrack to when you first noticed them and what you had installed up to 3 or more days before you noticed them.
its not from playstore, its from a diffrent source, i uninstalled infoprovided before and return after a few days
and i found the culprit, its the FWupgradeprovider, it can install or update app without the users consent, but my device is not rooted so i cant remove it. maybe there is another way to remove it?
Guyz,
On my backup phone, i was messing around and installed kingroot... a total malware.
Then, i formatted by phone and still kingroot is there. Tries deleting from kingroot settings but cant.
Plz inform how the hell shall i completely remove this sh*t?
Not an advanced user hence wont be able to understand complicated removal procedures.
PS: Using Samsung Note 3 Neo

If your device has root access, you can remove King root with other applications or from the King root settings. Uninstall the application with link2sd. If you can not delete the application, you will have to install the stock rom.

Thanks , but after three dots -> i have option to uninstall OR convert to user app.
Under both i get the same error:
"Link2SD could not obtain root access.
Maybe as i formatted my phone, i am no longer rooted and hence the error.
Also, i tried disabling Kingroot from phones builtin "Applications manager" and yes it seems disappeared from my App list on phone, Is it safe to say its no longer working on my phone even in background ?

The application that you deactivated will not run again, but if it really was malware, it probably installed other malware applications. I recommend you to do a complete analysis with several antivirus programs starting with Dr. Web.
I hope somebody read this, I got a some specific trouble with my phone, I got a Samsung Galaxy A5, with Android 4.4.4 KitKat ( I know it's too old), I can't use Google play store anymore, so I must to look and download APK files from the web (APKpure, APKmirror, etc,). The trouble I got it's not exactly with my phone, it's with some app I downloaded from the web, the app is WaveEditor it's an audio editing app (The app is Pro Unlocked). I downloaded the file and I uploaded to virustotal.com, to know if the file had a virus, 60 antivirus told me the file is clean, so I installed in my phone and everything was alright, I use the app and any trouble, but some days after using the app I saw the info app, and I surprised myself, the app told me the space occupied was 512GB, (I couldn't taked a screenshot) it is ridiculous because of my phone got 16GB and 2GB the SD card, so after to see that I tryed to deleted the data of the app but no happens anything I tryed to uninstall the app but the phone restartg one's own. I don't open the app again. So I want to know if the app is the trouble or it's a trouble of my phone.
Go into safe mode and uninstall app. Is it set as a system Administrator?
If that fails, factory reset.
If that fails it may need to be reflashed.
Just because an app is clean when you install it doesn't prevent it from downloading its payload latter. Kitkat is vulnerable to some nasty rootkits that can worm their way out of the user partition ie Xhelper. Best to firewall block apps that don't need internet access and don't allow them to update. Karma Firewall works very well doing this.
