What is the (system???) app "main components"?

[Username0000000]

- is it legit
- What does it do

Recieved a suspicious sms that disappeared almost as soon as it came in, then my AV notified me that "main components" was successfully scanned.

Search in settings shows the app under app info but clicking on it does nothing.

Google is not so helpful..

Thanks in advance

Same here with a completely different phone (OP 7). Nothing to worry about.

Yes the whatsapp is used for work but I've a second one on another simcard (I've been through 5) that I keep on one of the other 7 phones...

My personal phone that I use for work is also connected to the company email server...

I know that the email server connection has the permission/ability to remotely wipe our phones as it outright said so during the start up process...

However I strongly suspect that whatsapp was the point of ingress as it is plausible that I may have been sent one of those "dubious" links in whatsapp..

Also I have changed mobile phones 7 times factory resetting them each at least twice before finding out that it came back (switching phones so often as I kept reading that factory reset doesn't always get rid of it)

Shame too.... was particularly hopeful on the last one as I used entirely new accounts, a new OS, no google backup... Manually switching over all of my 2FAs

I think for most part your going be ok .

Just keep monitoring things

It's just distracting to the point of adversely affecting my work... Back mid March I thought I was free of it, I was elated... Had my biggest month of the year...

Before and since It's eating up my happiness and mental bandwidth. No one can sell like that.

Anyway thank you for your help

I Say Forget All That Jazz Disable Google Play Store And Services I Think They Are The Culprit In Your Case Just Because It's A System App And Came Pre Installed On The Phone Does Not Mean It's Trustworthy By Any Means But That's Just Me I Actually Avoid Using Google Play Store And Use **** Like Aptoide Instead

Welcome to AC!
What does using alternative play store have to do with a system app?

Aptoide puts you at risk for malware, and is also of questionable legality. We do not allow discussions about this kind of activity.

Google Play Services is by all means trustworthy. Please do not spread FUD on these forums, thanks.
