Too many ads on your Android phone lately? It's a Malware, here's How to Solve!

I’ve seen numerous nasty infections due to Android malware in my uncle’s phone. Random ads and objects swirling on the homescreen whenever he used certain apps.



Some phone manufacturers like Redmi and RealMe also show advertisements in their settings, browser, etc. section, but they're not due to malware.

To remove the advertisements caused by malware you can do the following:

• Go to the settings section and determine which applications are unknown to you and try to uninstall them.

• If you’re unable to uninstall it then you will have to do a factory reset or hard reset on your phone.

• Take the backup of the important files.
  Images and videos’ backup can be done on Google photos.

• Other files like PDFs, songs can be backed up on a laptop. 
• Backups of your application settings will be available on your Google account if you’ve enabled sync.

• Go to Backup and Reset in the settings section and perform the Factory Reset or Hard Reset.

• After your phone has been reset successfully, setup it using your previous Google account.

• Install an antivirus from Google Playstore. [Can be skipped]
• You can find all the applications you’ve previously used in the library section of apps on the Playstore, install only the necessary ones.

• Import your required data and you’re good to go.
• Don’t install applications from external sites, they might have malware.

Now the advertisements and malware will be gone!.
