    Built In Malware in My OnePlus 2 ?

    UPDATE: I have managed to update my phone to Oxygen 2.2.1! Whoopee! :) It was quite a brain-testing day, but it is done now. I downloaded Oxygen 2.2.1 from OnePlus a few days ago, but their instructions on how to update were not very clear. A link from a friend (not sure if I can post...

    Thanks for your quick reply. It's getting quite late here - after midnight - so what I would like to do tomorrow, or later, is list what other antivirus products report after scanning my phone. Most find the same 4 to 6 items of malware and report it. Some do not. So thanks again and I'll do...
