Armor for Android Virus App

[extortionist]

Hello everyone, can anyone help me to turn my phone back on? I was able to manage deactivating the armor app but didnt realize I needed to uninstall right after. So I started to try to use my camera app and the phone completely shut off instantly, now I cant even power up my phone. It starts to turn on then just shuts right back off again. Does anyone have any suggestions to help me get out of this mess? I run my business off this phone. Its a LG Esteem 2.3 Gingerbread OS

That's strange. Not to ask a silly question, but are you sure the phone is charged up?

Never even heard of that app. Not sure why folks run virus also any way. Have you checked to make sure it was charged? Pop battery out try rebooting it?

Uh Bad Azz this virus poped up on my main screen while I was driving my car and it said warning my phone is infected with a virus download this virus protection app and scan your phone to see if you have a virus so I panicked and downloaded the app only the app from the armor company or hacker is the virus! This is the first time I have had any problem like this so I got tricked into downloading it. So i went to the armor for android website they want you to buy their security app for $29 which is extortion hence my username.

Not a virus but a pop up with fake message to get you to go to a shady web sight. This happens a lot on windows machines especially when u visit porn sights or torrent sights.

Have you tried pressing and holding the power button for upwards of 20 seconds or so?

Best I could find so far is a video showing how to do a hard reset:

Thank you B. Diddy I appreciate that. That will be my plan B cause I dont want to lose anything on the internal memory(pictures, videos etc....) I'll look around to see if theres a way without losing data.

Go to Settings->Security->Select Device admins->Uncheck Armor
and then you can uninstall this app. I hope it helps, it helped me and I am finally glad that this App has been removed.
