[AC Question]

My husband deleted a bunch of apps on his note 3 and now he is getting pop ups that freeze his phone up. He installed malware but it found nothing. Does anyone know what app he might have deleted that was protecting his phone???

Welcome to Android Central! What do the popups look like? A screenshot or photo of the screen would be helpful. Is he rooted or unrooted? If rooted, was he deleting any system apps? It's not a good idea to indiscriminately delete system or preinstalled apps unless you really know what they do and how important they may be.
