In this video, I'll be showing you how to uninstall malware from your Android device-even that dreaded $500 "FBI" ransomware Moneypak virus. Rather than fighting through endless pop-ups, screen-jacking malware, or even general sluggishness, just boot into Safe Mode to make the whole process faster.

Your skipped the bit where you actually show us how to locate and remove malware.
@@AhmedSayed-ko2svthat lags the pc
@@kalebb9983 Maybe, for me its ok but im used to download and use it then uninstall or remove it
@@AhmedSayed-ko2sv I've done malwarebytes several times, but says nothing found, even though it's obvious there is something since there's been random games auto installing and random apps launching and being used.
@@baddecisions339 try the free try premium its working
Amul yes he did explain that you go into safe mode which puts all the applications except for the operating system into a sleep state.then you go into settings where all of the apps are you can freely uninstall the ones that you don't want. Very simple. And if it is not an integral part of the operating system or a bona fide Google products such as CZcams..... Get rid of it !!! That means games and phony Fix-It program's and stuff like that!!! Good luck to you!!!
I was about to put my cell phone beside my head and pull the trigger on both of us, but your video saved us from going six foot down. Best video ever! I've had this problem for about three months now, pop up ads every thirty seconds or close to that. I tried everything including going to Metro PCS to fix the problem. I even called Google, nothing ever worked, but your video sure did. It was just as fast and as easy as you said it would be. I'm nominating you for sainthood. Thanks so much!
Semper Fi America
Damn
He ain't no saint or a hood
Thanks so much for this! Worked like a charm. While in safe mode i went to my apps and i found a blank app with no name and lots of data stored up and i uninstalled it and it's gone! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
OMG... YOU SAVED ME!!! Thank you. I had a 'fake' messenger app that was hijacking my phone, including the settings! The safe mode allowed me to fix it... you're a lifesaver!
bro the app I have on my phone is so bad It locks my screen, can't do anything, and manages to block safe mode from coming up both ways, plz help
If it won't let you uninstall the malware. Go to Security. Then device administrators and turn off what shouldn't be there.
Bruh you're my savior thank you so much
Satricyak you're right
Snappiest Pigeon MY MAN
THANK YOU!
You earned a subscribe, master.
Another great way to remove malware is to go to settings, click on device care, then click on security then scan you phone and your phones should scan for malware and remove it
Outstanding... I know this probably did not work for everyone, but it did for me. My LG Android had an ad/malware attached to my Google Chrome App. Could not get around the "Free Spin" shit. Took your advise: went into safe mode, uninstalled the Chrome App, reinstalled an updated version of Chrome App, and all was right with the world. Thank you...
Hey man I used to have malware on my device but after I rebooted my tablet no more pop ups happend and I just wanna thank you so much I am subing to you! ❤😀😇🤗😆
You just taught me everything I needed to know all in 2 mins I love u bruh..no homo
Anyone here looking for a good I've always told the men I've had relationships with, the moment you are unfaithful is the moment you end our relationship. If I've ever felt so disconnected from my partner that I have felt myself drawn even into a hypothetical affair in my mind, I end the relationship. I've been in many abusive relationships (that I ultimately ended) but never once have I been unfaithful. Why? Because no failing relationship is worth sacrificing my morals and integrity for. No matter how it unfolds with a partner, there should be a base level of respect and empathy towards them as a human being. A failed relationship will not pollute your mind and foster insecurities anywhere near as much as being on the receiving end of adultery. I didn't know what was happening all along for years that she's been cheating until I met Bryan. Text/Call - +1 (304) 470-9898
Same here, worked a charm! Cheers 😉
Thank you so much, you saved my phone and my work and everything. I just hope they weren't able to download anything like passwords and bank details.
if you feel unsafe about the passwords change the passwords
Thank you it worked in a flash... It was a hidden/blank icon application. I managed to see it in safe mode tho and I removed it immediately. So thank you very much!
After trying multiple suggestions to uninstall MyDailyWeather from my Google Pixel, this did the job! What a relief! Thank you!
Great video, thank you for the simple no nonsense. Straight forward instructions. I have a question though, about the dloaded apps section that you mention. In that section of several of my phones I've found many apps that were factory installed in this section, not just my dloaded apps. Should this alarm me, or is that normal? Also, some, if not all of those apps I usually cannot delete all the way. I can only delete back to factory version of the app. Is this normal, or should I be alarmed about it?
Any updates dude?
This guy knows what he is talking about.
Those ads Don't pop up no more.
Thank you brother!!!
You were right, I went to settings, then apps and seen the app that was causing the problem, a fishy app that installed itself by hitting the close button. I uninstalled it right away. Problem gone.
nice
Good for you!
IT WORKED!!! THANKS! before, ever time I unlocked nut phone, it would open my internet and brought all these "virus" pages to download virus removal apps... and random full screen ass would pop up on anything. .. THANKS SOOOOO MUCH! !!! IT'S ALL GONE NOW
Thank u so much i love your vid i subbed and liked the video keep making more
Great video. Helped clean up my phone a ton and now much faster and longer battery life. Thank you.
I'm supposed to move a virus on a phone for a friend called the engross virus but when I turn it on it takes forever and it crashes before I have time click on settings what should I do
if there is a little hole in ur phone put something in it it will press a button and hard reset ur phone
you can factory reset by turning off then turn it on holding the power button home button and volume down or up button (forgot which) then a screen should appear so you just go to reset and boom fresh phone
Keke Pam hi
XPurpleHazeX _ hi
Thanks man this really helped!
Thank you so much. It worked for me. I went to apps and it was installed without any app name and app icon in the end of the list.
How much storage it takes on your phone please tell me
Great video but malware can actually still infect your phone through means other than an app. In this case you might want to dig through the files on your phone as well.
Exactly like an email in your emails or I text message you clicked on
Thabk you

Everything You Need
I accidentally gave a app screen lock permission, now I can't uninstall it and when I try to take the permission away my phone locks up for 5 or 10 seconds. Please help.
Super Hackerman Hacks I have the same problem. just backup your important files then do a factory reset
If needed a place you take your phones for repairs can fix it for you... i got 18+ viruses on my outdated laptop and took it to a electronic repair store and they fixed it... they even fixed the broken screen before... they even fixed my mom's phone, and many other issues with electronics... i actually broke my laptop by accident and somehow the 18+ viruses came back or I got 18+ new ones... well I did share it with my twin brother but he started to dislike it as became outdated it is still broken...
Boot to safe mode and uninstall
@@nehahahahahahah bit late, and the issue he's described seems to suggest that he can't either access safe mode or the malware is bypassing safe mode one way or another. Fortunately simply backing up their files and doing a factory reset would probably fix it.
Captain here: I used AVG to analyze my phone, and the result was that one app (Mega64, a Nintendo 64 emulator) was infected with malware. I uninstalled the app and bam!! problem solved after a few months. Try it...
*Captain flyes away*
same but its 64 bit for dual app
I installed an app which asked for accessibility and i enabled it.And when i was trying to uninstall it,it was not allowing to uninstall.
Thanks to you.Now i have uninstalled app
So informative, thanks a lot!
I have apps installing them self and its opening the browser with adult and apps content.
I can't uninstall these apps there is no button/tab for it for most is the malware/adware installed apps.
me to and i downloads porn itself
I wonder what your parents would thinks ehehhehe
+Butt Gaming yeah lol i have to hide it away.
Resets the phone after backing up important stuff... if needed...
Navneet Murti good
when he says: if you fund anything fishy uninstal the app.what does he mean? how do you know if something is fishy?
Justaguywholooksthroughcomments :D. u have a very long name lol
Greek Mafia if it's not from google play, or you don't know what it is, if you see anything like Holyapply, delete it immediatly.
If the app has a virus called Undyne Virus its fishy
Alien Jaguar so I might need to delete minecraft pe, five Nights at Freddy's 1, five Nights at Freddy's 2, five Nights at Freddy's 3, five Nights at Freddy's 4, and sister location... it is the full game and I didn't pay for it... i went on to Google after I turned on my unknown source setting so I could download unknown sources. I then searched Tutu Helper then downloaded the Tutu helper from first link that has .vip in it I then downloaded the apps from there and I didn't get a virus and it works... i just looked up how to get minecraft for free on youtube and found a video on how to download tutu Helper/ tutu app. You could just look up how to download tutu helper on youtube and get apps for free.... if anyone asks how you know this just say you wanted an app for free and looked it up on youtube to find out how to get it for free...just remember you didn't hear this from me...
He doesn't mean anything, he's just promoting his shitty website this video is pointless, he's just spitting out a shit ton of information than ppl searching for real help already know
Thanks Bro It Really Helped.
You !!!!! You have my thanks alright !!! Worked like a charm , take my thumbs up

Tanmoy Das SAME
Thanks, the one I had made ads pop up, it's gone now.!! 😁
Thanks for your plain and simple instructions
This was awesome!! it worked well THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
hello, I went to the safe mode, but I still cannot uninstall the malware as the uninstall buttom is grey. even after untick the device administrator. it still the same. what should I do?
Shervin Chan you should install an app called "Malwarebytes" from the play store, it will scan your phone for about 5 mins and at the end it will tell you which files/apps are malware and then deletes them if you allow it to. it worked great for me
hello, thanks for introducing this app. it really shows me the malware file, however, I am unable to uninstall the files as it stated that "the package is an active device administrator". I have unticked all the boxes in device administration, It still didnt work
Shervin Chan
Try going to Settings then Security, and disable the things that shouldn't be in there?
Thanks man, you saved the day !!
Thanks you very much for your kindness and knowledge and god bless you
I need help.. of the FBI Ransom Virus.. It suddenly installed a thing called Porn Player to my HTC One M8 And I went into safe mode to prevent the Lock screen, and then I went to attempt to uninstall the Porn Player thing, the uninstall button cannot be pressed which means cannot be uninstalled.. plz help I haven't slept for 2 days because I've been trying to find ways to get rid of the virus without factory reset
check my channel bro it works 100% in android device (y) :D
download malwarebytes
1. Reboot into safe mode
2. Install avast! ransomware removal (if you can download stuff in safe mode)
3. Put avast ransomware removal on the 1st page (the one what comes up when you unlock your phone)
4. Reboot
5. Try and get to avast! ransomware removal and scan before the ransomware comes back up
Hope this helps, I've never had ransomware before so I don't know if this will work, I just decided to comment just incase it helps
Also look at +Bc Codamon 's comment, that might help remove it
Same

Excellent, thank you!
I've got this app scanner overlay you know one of those malware apps that pretend to speed up your phone while making me watch ads.
Well I can't find it.
And I was thinking I could install an app blacklist, and everything that has ever been seen before new clones about where will be automatically protected and added to the blacklist.
And you get the option to download it safe for example its a game you're trying to download but the blacklist thinks it's fishy, you can install it anyway without disabling the blacklist for even a second
what phone is that? i like it
Nexus 5

Thanks! Great video.
This is the first source I found that didn't give 102 complicated steps on how to rid your phone from malware.
Great video, it helped me. Thank you very much!
My phone is going crazy like things are being pressed without my hand touching them and its going into apps without my assistance what do I do???
Someone hack ur phone, u better reset ur phone
I was having same issues. Chuck the phone. Dont put any sesitive info on the new one.
Yeah. Someone did this to me too.
I think I'll probably need to hard reset.
That malware threat makes my android device leads to lagging, malfunctioning and/or fast drainage of battery...i swear that !!! Hopefully not harm my device someday
Very good video. I have disabled NBRYB malware. Big LIKE!
I had two apps on my phone that were just plain white icons and no name or nothing, weren't even system apps and don't remember installing such things, I uninstalled both and my phone was faster. I guess they were both hogging the CPU and were malware for sure. Ty for vid!
Some dickhead app is hijacking my screen through my existing apps.
Same its pissing me off
I have virus in my phone, its make my phone getting slow and when I open the main screen theres soo many pop up ads even when im play game its make me feel annoyed. Please how to remove that virus
Dude it worked for me ...Thanx so much I was screwed-up by popups warning of virus alert and my phone was so lagging due to it when I swipe the screen it's so smooth but when select any button (click) it lags for 2_3 s i know that that was virus malware from 3rd party' forcing me to enter his popup website but when I clear one app after safe reboot its working perfectly fine again Thanx....!! Yeah those guys facing same issue plz try this. ❤️
THANK GOD FOR THIS VIDEO
I went on a fake movie website and saw notifications of porn, I got a notification afterwards saying I had malware 13, I was terrified and there was nothing I could do, I was about to give up. But then I found this video and omg it's a life changer, I am not getting those notifications anymore. If you ever get notifications about your phone crashing in 5 minutes from Chrome, it's probably a scam
How to know which app have been infected??
yeah
+Asyraf Shaharudin Antivirus....Avast
One of the ways to know an app is shady is if it has way more permissions than it should.
Example:A game wants to be able to delete data from your device lock the screen read call/message logs etc.
Asyraf Shaharudin it's an unnamed app
Disable half you're running processes. Then check if the virus still runs. Now do half of that list or the other half list etc. Process of elimination. Often it will have high CPU usage. Eventually you will get it down to 1 or 2 running processes. Look up the virus details and delete it. If that does not work run a root kit scanner.
What do you mean by fishy?
Suspicious or bad
thank you....tnx..tnx.tnx...
after a horrible time I fixed my phone....thanks a lot for your help bro
How do I know if their is any odd apps installed I bearly go on all my apps. Most I have never even touched.
