How to Get Rid of a Virus on Your Android Phone?

 If you're using Android, it shouldn't be too difficult to know how to get rid of a virus from your phone. It’s also equally easy to do the removal itself. Start by running a virus scan on your phone, which can be done with any antivirus software. If the scan identifies threats, the software should allow you to resolve these threats.

You can also manually uninstall any malicious apps that you find on your phone, which is a process that begins by entering "Safe Mode". When you're in this mode, every third-party app will halt its process, which should make it easier to address the problem without fearing that your data will be stolen. While holding down the "Power Off" button, you will be presented with a "Reboot to Safe Mode" option. From here, check the apps that you've installed. If you know which app is malicious, all you need to do is select the app before clicking on the "Uninstall" button.

Remove Administrator Access

More potent viruses don't allow users to delete the malicious software, which you can circumvent by getting rid of administrator access for the app in question. You can do this by accessing your phone’s security settings and updating the device administrator access for the entire system or for a particular application. To remove access to the malicious app, however, you can delete it completely.
