Malware in a Nokia G50


Hello all.

My Phone has been acting strange. Yesterday day was the worst.
Constant messages About Facebook being hacked etc. I have tried the AGV free anti virus stilll the constant deluge of FUDD.
The AGV anti-virus wants me to buy the pro copy using the credit card.
Has anyone got any suggestions??

Cheers NigelC

What apps have you installed, and were they all from the play store?

IF there is no malware in the factory load image, a to-factory reset might eliminate the problem. Natch, you would then have to reinstall all of your settings and applications.

Settings first. Then one application at a time with a day of testing and a reset between so if the problem returns you can isolate the cause to that one single factor.

This presumes that problem does not appear only when you open a specific page or site, perhaps if you have one set as your home or default in FFOX. Sometimes these are triggered by a jacked page, not on your phone at all.
