Welcome to Android Central! Which phone? Are you talking about a system update, or an update to the Phone app?

Same problem here Adnroid friends - Samsung Galaxy S7 edge.

Would love to learn how to kill this irritating and spamming app.



And to learn what it does; is it registering calls in the background?
How is it installed (not by me for sure)?
And how is it possible that it can install itself (and how to avoid it next time)?

Cheers

I solved it O

The peace of **** that put this malware on my phone is the app vivavideo.

Out of nothing (it was already installed for 2 years) it put caller id on my phone.
I did use the app this weekend for video editing and made internet connection with it. Apparently then all the dark horses break lose. So please erase vivavideo, its dangerous.

I also warned Malwarebytes that they should keep it on there forbidden list, instead of removing it.
