Every time I unlock my Galaxy S5, the first thing comes up is an ADS and I could not figure out how to get rid of it. Any suggestions? Thanks!
incase you havent fixed it yet i just got the same problem download norton security its free scan for maleware allow app permissions and let it delete the app it will not tell you what app but it is now working for me (sorry im 2 years late)Every time I unlock my Galaxy S5, the first thing comes up is an ADS and I could not figure out how to get rid of it. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Well since this is the first thing that comes up when you search for the problem I thought I should post my "adventure" with a simular program. In my case there was no app showing in the apps menu in setting, it didn't show up at all, it didn't come up in task manager as well even tho there were full screen ads that redirect me to other ads. I'm sure that this is a newer way to avoid detection, it appeared as a blank box in devise administrators in the security menu. I disabled its administrator privileges, but I still had no way of finding it, it didn't show up not even as a blank space in the apps menu. Then I downloaded app brain ad detector from the Google play Store (it's free) it basically shows what apps are permitted, if they have ad networks and SDKs. It checks all apps and sorts them by risk so Facebook, messenger and so on are shown as risky too. The funny thing is that it showed the program that opens ads when I unlock the screen as risk free, a blank box with no description is safe apparently no matter what is important is that it showed it so I could finally uninstall it. So I recommend if you can't seem to find the app that is causing you problems, download app brain ad detector from the play store, it could help. BTW I know I sound as a scammer for the app, but it really saved me. Good luck to anyone with the same problemEvery time I unlock my Galaxy S5, the first thing comes up is an ADS and I could not figure out how to get rid of it. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Hello Friends ! I had the same problem to on my micromax Q 480 ( Android 6.0 marshmallow ) and NO APP could detect the problem foe me so i did it in another way see what to do when u unclock the screen and see the add click the "recent apps button" (one of the three buttons other than home and back on the bottom of the screen) u will get to see the app name thats the reason for this annoying problem then cross the add one more time go to "settings" and then apps and then find the app name click on it and then click "clear data" ik this will clear all the memory of the app but its the only way don't worry it won't delete it tho just erase all the memory and also the malware/ virus after that go back to homescreen close the phone lock it wait unlock it and DONE! idk about others sorry if it ddnt work but it worked for me!!!! cheers !
