How to uninstall any virus

Here I am posting removing methods with and without root but if you want to remove this completely then I will suggest you to rooted device method although you can control it in a unrooted device but can’t uninstall it.

For rooted devices

  1. First of all Root your phone.
  2. Install any bloatware removing app like System app safe remover app (link provided)

What is root: Android is operating system in which you have the ability to can change anything in your phone but by default these features are blocked by manufacturer. Process of unblocking these features is known as root

Rooting your phone means you can change anything in your android device like expanding ram, remove ads of apps, Can remove bloatware but on rooting the phone, it will void your warranty but don’t worry you can unroot your phone after deleting this virus from your phone.

  1. How to root your phone: Currently there is no app which can root all devices. Rooting process of different is different so search on google how to root your phone model (go to settings→about phone)
  2. Last step:  Now install System app safe Remover from play store which is made for removing system apps, moving any app to SD card etc and open it on opening it there will a pop up open from SuperSu asking about root permission to give root permission click on grant (you can’t use this app without root permission)popup notification by suptersu

Select this virus and click on uninstall button when you uninstall any app it moves in recycle bin so uninstall from recycle bin too. You are confusing what is the name of this virus. I find many names of this virus given the blow

  • Alarm controller
  • Battery controller
  • Smsmanager
  • Proxyservics
  • wallpapaerservics
  • .com.system.update
  • system certificate
  • music provider
  • net alpha
  •  demo

unisntall ghost push

How to Stop reinstalling proxyserver, smsmanager, etc

some user complains that alarm controller, battery controller is automatic reinstalling because there is an app settings provider delete it too.

 Remove without root

If you do not want to root your phone for any reason then you can restrict data of malware. To restrict unwanted materials from this virus go settings→data usage and scroll down and disable data for the virus which you have. But I will prefer you to uninstall it completely by rooting your phone. If by default your smartphone don’t have restrict data feature then use any firewall app like Noroot firewall.

Note: I have received many complaints this method is not working. so you have to root your phone.

If your phone have that kind of problem but this virus has the different name then please tell the latest name of this virus so I can provide better results for the user because all of the users searches on the internet How to remove smsmanager/alarm controller etc. Comment or use this contact form to tell the latest name.

      • Download a terminal shell. Then issue the following commands :
        ps -a (shows all running processes, take note of the Process ID)

        netstat -ano (shows all inbound and outbound connections, the remote IP address IN NUMERICAL FORMAT the socket is connected to, and the Process ID ….once again, take note of the Process ID)

        If you want to display the domain name instead of the IP address, simply omit the -n option

        whois [IP address OR domain name]

      • DO NOT ROOT THE PHONE. It is a very stupid idea to even expose an infected device to administrator rights. Since it is running as a standard user, it is unlikely it could modify system files. So try a factory reset.

        • In my case, I tried factory reset but it did not work because it is bloatware. Looks like you did not root your phone I rooted my phone couple times for a specific task nothing happen but I deleted virus by rooting my phone

          • You’re lucky it’s just bloatware, and isn’t something very malicious. If you ever come across something very nasty, always format using TWRP and flash the default ROM. This is the only way to ensure it is disappeared.

          • Also, bloatware isn’t really ‘malware’… it is just unwanted software given by the manufacturer…
