I deleted some apps that I recently installed but I'm still seeing adds on my phone. It's not just in browsers but in places like gallery when I'm viewing my photos. The weird thing is I started to notice this when I installed adaway. But I uninstalled this and other apps but it didn't help. It takes up the whole screen and i have to click no thanks to install whatever its saying to install. Any way to find out what's causing this?

Run an anti malware program. These ads could be part of an app you installed. Even if you in installed them the ads stay embedded. I use Malwarebytes

Yeah, I downloaded and installed the apk, and I haven't had any issues with it thus far.

The only problem I've seen so far is it still won't show all the apps. It'll cut off at a certain amount. Not sure why.
Your phone density ok? I have no problem so far.

Yes. Not sure what the issue is. Oh well.
Works but not showing My Apps.
Tried Titanium Back Up and installing new app.

I had one problem after the update...I downloaded a game and I got an insufficient memory notice...total BS. I have over 7 GB internal available. I cleared the market cache...and all worked fine...
Edit: just noticed not all apps are showing up also. Google music for one doesn't show in my app list. Even tried clearing cache again...

Hmm, this seems strange, as I'm getting this "1buy.com" homepage on my browser. Changing it to Google works, but after a few hours it resets itself. I did several scans using Avast and Lookout to no avail.

There are lots of malware that avast or lookout fails to find. Did you install any suspicious apps or 'cracked' apps?

None if I'm not mistaken. I already removed several apps on my device, still the problem remains.
Try searching for an app with a name related to "online search provider" in the apps manager and then disable it to test if the browser goes back to normal.
I did this and it worked with my Chinese Sh*t Tablet.

This is a way of advertising that several developers use
If you dont have any important data in your browser memory then i suggest u clear the browser data
It is definitely an app ..

Titanium backup.. Find it, freeze it

It is part of systemui I don't think you can freeze that

Will that actually make them disappear from the notification panel?
If it is part of the app I mentioned you will cause the notification bar not to work altogether.

I just did a little research.
It is part of the systemui.apk program.
That application you can't freeze without the core functionality of the phone failing to work with it.
You will need to either find an xposed module that can do it and set that up (don't think there are any yet) or get a modified version of it and replace the one on the device.
So yesterday I had a notification on my phone that said "Towelroot - remove this program immediately"
Since this program was downloaded and installed without the knowledge of the Google Play store, how does it know that my phone has the program in it. And it's not really an active program. It's a use it once type program, to my understanding.
So, does this mean that Google is snooping though my phone looking at everything I have installed and reporting it back to the mothership? Where else is it snooping?
And mostly, how can I prevent this.
If your phone is already rooted, why do you still have towel root there...you can uninstall it..it won't affect root status

at some point...looks like you accepted the prompt to allow Google to verify apps for harmful behaviour. ..that's why it's giving you that warning

Ahhhhhh..... Just a few days ago I think I put a check in the box that said verify apps.
Hi,
I have a Vivax Point x45 mobile phone and it somehow got infected with a very aggresive virus which I can't get rid of.
The phone is unusable since the phone keeps opening ads, spam and is constantly trying to install new apps.
What I noticed so far is that the two main viruses are Time Service and Firewall Service.
Once I connect to the internet those viruses install porn apps like 'hot video' and 'hot girls' and such and they keep opening it.
I have tried factory reset through mobile phone and through recovery mode (VOL- and Power button) but the viruses are there even after recovery mode.
I've read about Titanium backup and such methods of removing the virus, but I literally can't do anything on the phone since it won't let me open any app longer than 2 seconds. I can't root it, I can't install any other app myself and I can't access internet with it. I would reflash the firmware but I can't find it anywhere on the internet since it's a ****ty vivax model.
Help please.
Thanks.
Factory reset. Don't connect to WiFi. Download antivirus apk on your PC and drag it to your phone. Install the app. Check and clean the virus. Good luck. Must be an oldboot virus that installs itself every time you connect to WiFi. A custom ROM would also fix the issue. But like you said. Its a unknown brand.

The virus works even when not connected to the internet. So I do factory reset and turn on the phone, it's there.
I can't operate on it since it keeps spamming ads and opening apps. It's unusable in this state.

Its a system level virus. A factory reset won't help. It needs to have its system reinstalled. Problem is, the phone itself is an unknown make and brand and has no support on XDA. Its important to buy a phone which does so that when issue like this occurs. There a high probable chance that your phone can get fixed. I'm wondering if your phone has a safe mode?

Safe mode is infected too.
I just managed to root somehow through PC and installed busybox and root explorer and removed several files starting with a "." from system/xbin and system/app so there were no files starting with "." left.
There was another one in /bin folder named ".gap" but even after chattr -iaA it couldn't be removed.
Then I factory reset the phone but the **** installed itself all over again.
App names:
Time Service
Firewall Service
hot video
netflash (smtnh like that)
file names were
.gap
.gap.a
.gatgp.a (smthn like that)
The app is also constantly trying to instal com.android.provision and fake Viber and Whatsapp apps.
Do you have cameraupdate.apk and providerCertificate.apk if so remove these too and all the Files with the dots. I.e what you have suggested above. Then reboot to recovery. And wipe cache and reboot.
