Lookout Was Not Able To Successfully Remove pkg.apk

[Moltres_rider]

somehow a virus crept onto my phone, Lookout finds it but CANNOT remove it!!! a message pops up "pkg.apk is riskware" and when I tell it to remove it, Lookout errors out as "lookout was not able to successfully remove pkg.apk"!!!!!!!!! I googled that error message NOTHING googled it again with quotes and Google said "no results for 'lookout was unable to successfully remove'" LIKE IF THIS ERROR MESSAGE IS FOREIGN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I NEVER downloaded any pkg.apk and don't know how it got on my phone and Lookout Antivirus CANNOT remove it!!!!!!!! Lookout blows up my phone asking me to remove it for DAYS but it CANNOT!!!!! HOW DO I F&^%&*& GET RID OF IT???????????????????

i would probably do a factory fresh hard reset of the phone and manually resync reinstall everything one by one. this way you should be rid of any virus.

good luck.

I am inclined to agree about resetting.

It's not a virus...if you have rooted your phone it is the root software called superuser its not a virus.
