Can I have a virus or can something be installed on my phone?

[AC Question]

I was looking at izismile.com when a new page opened from k64lnd.com. I have never heard about it or could not find anything aboutit just that the domain is 3 days old.

The page had a popup that said my android might be old, but could not see anything being installed and after I managed to close the page I checked that the option for unknown sources to install apps was not on.

I have used my free bitdefender scan and it could not find anything wrong.
But still afraid I might have something dubious on my phone now.

Same thing happened to me. I'm starting to suspect that these Oukitel U8 phones have suddenly activated firnware malware a few months after buying them.

I set my phone to factory defaults and it didn't work for me... Hope someone find a way to fight this malware.

hello all.
I have Oukitel u8 as well. for the last 10 days pop-up sites are opening randomly, "unknown sources" option is getting activated.
I tried restoring the phone, opening new google account, and installing various av sw. nothing seems to help. malwarebite detected an app "Beuty makeup" as a malicious one, but it cannot be removed as it is preinstalled on the phone.

hello all,
i've Oukitel U8 and have the same issue.
in my case, a new application has been installed on my phone named "Recents" a few weeks ago. This application turn with com.ipus.recents processus.

In the same time, i've the same behavior as you: pop-up sites are opening randomly, "unknown sources" option is getting activated.

I try to factory reset, but i still have the issue.

I deleted the "recent apps" app and haven't had a single popup since

So glad that it's over, but I got into such a habit of having to close those damn popups that I think I've developed the Stockholm Syndrome of Malware.

Hope you manage to fix your mobiles

Re: Can I have a virus or can someWhat i funder buildthing be installed on my phone?

What if it says under build number: OUKITEL_UniverseTap_V9.0_20150606

Should I choose the FZ or KR?

Its not your phone, I love Izismile but you can't get 5 words or 2 pictures in when the progress bar on top starts going and I have to reload the page, it does it constantly. Izismile never used to do that.
