I delete, then within seconds one by one they get loaded back -_- I don't have access to a PC right now otherwise I'd have just used that it's much easier. Backing up directly from phone to usb is my only option atm, and I have limited space on my usb these unnecessary files are clogging it up.

My phone is a Samsung Galaxy J7 prime running Android 7. I'm trying to backup my personal data from the phone to a USB drive via OTG cable. However, every time I mount the drive, the app files of my phone (com.whatsapp, .nomedia, LOST.DIR, com.symantec.mobilesecurity, etc.) automatically start...

methodman89 I know, Facebook has dropped the ball several times over the last few months, and with the amount of private data it stores, it's basically a spyware on its own. The only reason I haven't been able to ditch it and its family of apps yet because being in marketing, I kind of need to...

No one knows? :( That sucks. Still couldn't figure it out on my own yet.

I am no expert, but the way I do it on my phone is go to Settings>Apps, then there is a long list of all the installed apps, from there find Chrome and click on it. Then there will probably be a page where it shows how much battery, storage, memory etc the app has used. Click on storage and it...

UPDATE Okay, so I was not crazy and seeing things apparently. Today, through sheer luck, I managed to find this thread that describes the exact issue I had. https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/ineed-help-message-attackers-1s-atte-t3868724 However, that was about it. The person who...

I have Samsung J7 prime with Android 7.0. I'm trying to back up my personal data to a SanDisk Usb drive, but I do not want to just back up everything that's on there and can be backed up. I only want to back up my pictures, videos and documents, no apps or app settings or anything. However every...

Using Samsung J7 Prime, Android Nougat. I was using the Facebook app yesterday, when suddenly, a downloading icon appeared in the status bar. I had done nothing, clicked no links, no website was open, even the Facebook app itself I was checking the settings, not browsing. By the time I had...

Hello! Thank you very much for all your help and for answering my questions :) Grateful

Hello, Thank you again for the reply Scienceguy Labs I scanned my phone with 6 of the AVs in the list you provided, and they all came up clean, so I'll take my chances for now. If I see any problems with the functionality, then will do a factory reset. For now phone seems to be working fine...

Thank you guys for your responses. Scienceguy Labs and methodman89 After posting here, I did some research online, as I had managed to remember the name I had seen at the top of the page, and found this article https://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-internetgazeta-cardvrmirrorr-ru/ online. The...

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime. Today, while browsing Instagram, I came across a person's profile, and clicked on their personal website link in their bio. Point to be noted, this profile wasn't some spam or bot or fake profile, the person is legit. Anyhow, I clicked on their website link...

methodman89 Okay, so you saying that reminded me, I have never used any add-ons in Chrome on my phone, ever, not even ad blockers, but, I did enable my AV's (Kaspersky) internet protection a few days ago, to enable safe browsing and scanning the websites I visit for malicious activity or...

methodman89 I had already uninstalled the other AVs and scanners after running the scans as I didn't have space on my phone to keep them anyway. I didn't know how to clear the cache partition, looked online but couldn't understand a few parts, meanwhile, Chrome started freezing up again...

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime, Android 7. Everything was fine, then all of a sudden, since last week, my Instagram app started freezing and then subsequently crashing often, every day, sometimes even twice a day. Then Google started crashing a bit too, not as often as Instagram, but maybe...

No, no ads at all. I didn't think it was bad either, since a lot of my friends use it and have been using for years too, but since the antivirus detected, and it's a trusted antivirus, I was a little concerned. But I figured that if it was a malware, at least one other app would've detected it...

So, I currently have a few camera apps installed on my Samsung J7 prime, namely Candy Camera. However, recently, an antivirus app Quick Heal detected the Candy Camera app as a virus with the name Android.Ginmaster. I don't understand it though, I have scanned my phone with multiple antivirus...
