Banner advertising annoys everyone who uses a computer to surf the Internet, or the owner of a tablet or phone running on Android OS; it not only increases the loading time of the necessary site, stealing time and prepaid traffic, it can be malicious. It is possible that you may be redirected to sites and pages that contain a virus that infects your computer, as well as to places where scammers or ransomware are waiting for you.

Regardless of the device - it’s a computer, or you access the Internet using a phone, or a tablet, aggressive advertising, which looks like a pop-up window with a banner, is especially annoying.

• static, displayed for a certain time or throughout the entire period of working with the material using a computer, or using a phone or tablet;
• Advertising in the “Interstitial” format is a pop-up banner that occupies the entire screen, sometimes with video;
• advertising with any offer in the application interface;
• a special format banner that is built into the application and begins to appear after a few days; in this case, it is impossible to determine who introduced, for example, a virus that requires payment of a fine on behalf of the Ministry of Internal Affairs;
• so-called “useful advertising”, when various rewards are offered for viewing a particular site or page.

On the Internet, you can freely find programs for Android, installed on a computer or mobile device, that allow you to fight banners and fraud under the guise of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Advertising viruses on Android are a common phenomenon, which is often associated with the user’s carelessness and lack of awareness in terms of installing third-party applications. As a result, they see huge banners on their screens and sometimes even threats in the style of “send an SMS to such and such a number or your phone will be blocked.” How to remove ads on Android - read on Trashbox.

Problem Definition

First of all, you need to find out what exactly you are dealing with. If advertisements start appearing on top of all applications on your device, it means that an adware trojan has penetrated your Android. They come in different types:

1. Common adware viruses that are installed with malicious applications.
2. Advertising viruses that are installed as system applications.
3. Trojans that are built into the firmware.

The former can be removed using standard means of the Android operating system, that is, go to the settings, find the malware and remove it from the device. Viruses of the second and third types can only be removed by obtaining root rights and special programs, or simply by flashing the gadget.

We remove the simplest viruses on Android

First, remember what you installed on your smartphone or tablet in anticipation of the ad appearing. Determine the range of these programs. The AirPush Detector program can help with this. It scans all applications for displaying advertising banners.

If advertising and overlapping messages do not allow you to work normally with your smartphone, then it doesn’t matter. In this case you need reboot into Android Safe Mode. To boot into Safe Mode on Android, you need to:
Safe mode on Android is a state where you can use the system without all third-party applications. That is, those same advertising banners and messages are not shown in it.

Go to Settings → Security → Device Administrators. All programs that have administrator rights are shown here. If there are any suspicious malware present there, then remove the rights from them.

After that, go to Settings → Applications. We look for all potential malware there and remove it. After that we reboot again, but in normal mode. Everything should be fine, but if not, read the instructions below.

Full reset

If you want to be completely sure that the virus has been removed, then reset the device to factory settings (hard reset).

There are two ways to trigger a reset:
Through settings:

1. Go to Settings → Backup and reset.
2. There, find the “Reset settings” item. Select it.
3. Click the Reset Phone button.

Buttons on the body: Android device manufacturers use different combinations for a hard reset. On most smartphones and tablets, this is holding down the Volume Down button and the Power button. You can find out about a similar combination for your device on the Internet.

How to remove system viruses on Android

Many viruses on Android receive administrator rights, root and are deeply embedded in the firmware. You can fight them in different ways.

Method one - flashing
The most reliable and easiest way to get rid of a virus that has taken root in the system is to reflash your smartphone. To avoid losing all your data, you can back up your apps using Titanium Backup, but you need root access to do this. Backups should be saved to an SD card, if available. To do this, you need the Pro version of the Titanium Backup application.

Transferring Titanium Backups to SD Card - Left to Right

The firmware for your device can be found on various resources. This could be CyanogenMod, official firmware or some kind of modification. To find the firmware for your gadget, just use a search engine.

Method two - getting root and deleting manually
Advanced users can remove a virus from Android in a more complex but reliable way. It consists of obtaining root rights on the device and manually removing all virus data. There are a great many ways to obtain root rights. The easiest one is to do it using a computer via KingoRoot.

After receiving root on Android, you need to install applications such as Root Explorer and Titanium Backup:

Using Root Explorer, you can check all Android system folders for suspicious APK files and directories with viruses. No matter what rights the Trojan has, Root Explorer will be able to remove it. Mostly virus APKs and folders are located in /system/app/ or /system/xbin/ directory.

Titanium Backup can remove almost all applications, so it can be used to remove an infected program.

Install antivirus on Android

An antivirus or a simple malware scanner will not only help cure an already infected Android, but will also prevent this from happening in the future.

The editors of Trashbox can recommend the following antiviruses for Android:

A virus is nothing more than software that has a lot of varieties and properties, and therefore, before you start fighting, you need to more or less clearly understand what and how to fight.

In this article we will take a closer look at some of the categories of the most common virus software. We will learn how and by what methods to defeat viral penetration into the systems of smartphones and tablets based on Android.

What is a virus - viral software?

One of such very well-known virus software is the so-called Trojan virus. Denoting in simple words the field of his activity, the meaning can be reduced to the following:

1 - hidden penetration into the system (even if an antivirus is installed).

2 - collection and theft (with transfer to third parties) of confidential information of the user of a smartphone, tablet...

3 - control of personal correspondence in all kinds of instant messengers and, accordingly, the use of information against the owner: (we will include in court - the collection of all kinds of financial data, starting from payment details and the banal theft of passwords).

What’s noteworthy is that immediately after scanning, you may find suspicious files... the system will offer “treatment” or their complete removal. Before you delete forever, get to know the file names: it happens that the antivirus flags some useful pictures, etc... Be careful! however, remember: viruses penetrate the system through downloading pictures, among other things.

That's all! if you click on “Clean up system”, all scammers will be removed from your device.
