Random app keeps trying to install

[Ryhrtd]

I had just got my note 5 and with one day it just started to download random apps. Yesterday I downloaded stopbadapp from play store and it found one thing on my phone that was a threat. I removed it and now the apps has stopped random download. Hope this helps because it helped for me

I am having a similar experience and its driving me mad, every day I am getting AliExpress and Sugar Smash downloaded to my phone plus random other apps that I neither want or have ever downloaded before.

I have done a factory reset and it did nothing, within hours apps stated to download.

My phone is running Android 4.2.2, I have Avast installed but it tells me all is well and I have also downloaded and run "Stubborn Trojan Killer" and "Addons Detector" but neither has helped.

I am on the verge of binning my phone changing my number and starting over with a new gmail account, but I really dont want to do that and am sure there must be an answer to this.

I have read that there is a new virus infecting android phones but no information on how to get rid of it.

Please help....

I do have a problem with the lazada app trying to get installed in my tablet. I am trying to inquire a friend of mine(a hacker) about this problem to be solved but for now I have solved it temporarily by uninstalling the source app.

I have the same issue. Not just lazada. Its installing chrono marker, and a lot porn-ish adult stuff and i am at "WTF" is happening to my phone. I cant even use it anymore. Ads poppipng up. Also i set my phone on airplane mode. It was still able to connect to wifi. And i manually turn off wifi and within split second or so it turned on by itself. I've already hard format reset my phone and sd card and wiped data. Help please... my phone is Kata M2 and was never rooted. I guess i got the virus or malware when i tried the apps to hack pokemon go... thats just a hunch. To add i installed malwarebytes it detected trojan files that it cant even remove.

I was facing the same problem till last 15 mins and guess what I found the app which was creating the whole thing. It was clone app of Whatsapp. I have uninstalled it and now my mobile is working fine.
