如何从您的 Android 手机中删除病毒和其他恶意软件(How to Remove Viruses and other Malware from your Android Phone)
什么是安卓病毒？(What is an Android Virus?)
如果要批判性地评估病毒一词的技术性，那么Android设备的病毒就不存在了。病毒一词与将自身连接到计算机然后自我复制以造成严重破坏的恶意软件相关联。另一方面， Android(Android)恶意软件无法自行复制。因此(Hence)，从技术上讲，它只是恶意软件。
话虽如此，它的危险性丝毫不亚于实际的计算机病毒。恶意软件会降低您的系统速度，删除或加密您的数据，甚至将个人信息发送给黑客(Malware can slow down your system, delete or encrypt your data and even send personal information to hackers)。大多数 Android 设备在受到恶意软件攻击后都会出现明显的症状。这些可以包括：
- 不稳定的用户界面
- 不需要的弹出窗口和应用程序
- 数据使用量增加
- 电池快速消耗
- 过热
如果您的设备出现这些症状，您可以通过以下方法处理恶意软件并从您的Android设备中删除病毒。
1.重启进入安全模式(1. Reboot Into Safe Mode)
恶意软件进入Android(Android)设备的最常见方式是通过新应用程序。这些应用程序可以从Play 商店(Play Store)或通过apk安装。为了验证这个假设，您可以在Android上重新启动到安全模式(Safe Mode)。
在Android 安全模式下(Android Safe Mode)运行时，您安装的每个应用程序都将被禁用。只有谷歌(Google)或设置(Settings)应用程序等核心应用程序才能正常运行。通过安全模式(Safe Mode)，您可以验证病毒是否通过应用程序进入您的设备。如果您的手机在安全模式下(Safe Mode)工作正常，那么是时候卸载新应用程序了。以下是如何启动到安全模式(Safe Mode)以检查是否需要从 Android 手机中删除病毒(remove virus from an Android phone)：
1. 在您的 Android 设备上，按住(press and hold)电源按钮(Power button)，直到出现重启和关机选项。

Τheѕe unwanted сompanions wreck уour entire oрerating system and make a mess out of your smartphone. If your phone has been a victim of these attacks, read ahead to find out how you can remove any virus from an Android phone.
How to Remove Viruses and other Malware from your Android Phone
What is an Android Virus?
If one were to critically evaluate the technicalities of the term virus, then viruses for Android devices do not exist. The term virus is associated with malware that attaches itself to a computer and then replicates itself to wreak havoc. Android malware, on the other hand, is not capable enough to reproduce on its own. Hence technically, it’s only malware.
With that being said, it is in no way less dangerous than an actual computer virus. Malware can slow down your system, delete or encrypt your data and even send personal information to hackers. Most Android devices show obvious symptoms following a malware attack. These can include:
- Choppy user interface
- Unwanted pop-ups and applications
- Increased data usage
- Rapid battery drain
- Overheating
If your device has experienced these symptoms, here’s how you can tackle the malware and remove the virus from your Android device.
1. Reboot Into Safe Mode
The most common way malware enters an Android device is through new applications. These apps could have been installed from the Play Store or through apk. To test this hypothesis, you could reboot into the Safe Mode on Android.
While operating on Android Safe Mode, every application you have ever installed will be disabled. Only core applications like Google or the Settings app will be functional. Through the Safe Mode, you can verify if the virus entered your device through an app or not. If your phone works fine on Safe Mode, then it is time to uninstall new applications. Here’s how you can boot into Safe Mode to check if there is a need to remove virus from an Android phone:
1. On your Android device, press and hold the Power button until the option to reboot and power off appears.
2. Tap and hold down the Power button until a dialogue box pops up, asking you to reboot into Safe Mode.
3. Tap on OK to reboot into Safe Mode.
4. Observe how your Android functions in Safe Mode. If the problem persists, then the virus has penetrated the system. If not, then a new application you installed is to blame.
5. Once you have made proper use of the Safe Mode, press and hold the Power button and tap on Reboot.
6. You will reboot into your original Android interface, and you can start uninstalling apps that you feel are the source of the virus.

2. Uninstalling Applications
Once you have determined that the cause of the virus is a third-party application, it is time for you to get rid of them.
1. On your Android smartphone, open the Settings application.
2. Tap on ‘Apps and notifications’ to view all the apps on your device.
3. Tap on ‘App info’ or ‘See all apps’ to proceed.
4. Scour through the list and identify any applications that seem suspicious. Tap on them to open their options.
5. Tap on Uninstall to remove the application from your Android device.
3. Take Away Device Admin Status From Apps
There are instances where uninstalling an application becomes extremely difficult. Despite all your efforts, the app refuses to leave your phone and continues to cause mayhem. This happens when an app has been granted the status of device admin. These applications no longer adhere to the rules governing ordinary applications and have special status on your device. If there is such an application on your device, here’s how you can delete it.
1. Open the Settings application on your Android device.
2. Scroll down and tap on the option titled ‘Security.’
3. From the ‘Security’ panel, tap on ‘Device admin apps.’
4. This will display all the apps that have device admin status. Tap on the toggle switch in-front of suspicious applications to take away their device admin status.
5. Following the steps mentioned in the previous section, uninstall the application and rid your Android device from potential malware.
4. Use an Anti-virus Software
Anti-virus applications may not be the most reliable software out there, but they can play a major role in dealing with malware on Android. It is essential to select reputable and working anti-virus software and not just fake apps that eat up your storage and bombard you with advertisements. Malwarebytes is such an application that efficiently tackles Android malware.
1. From the Google Play Store, download the Malwarebytes application
2. Open the application and grant all the necessary permissions.
3. Once the app is open, tap on ‘Scan now’ to locate malware on your device.
4. As the app scans each application individually, the process could take some time. Wait patiently while all the apps are checked for malware.
5. If the app finds malware on your device, you can remove it with ease to ensure that your device operated properly again.
Some Additional Tips
1. Clear the Data of your Browser
Android Malware can also be downloaded from the browser on your device. If your browser has been acting up lately, then clearing its data would be the right way to move forward. Tap and hold your browser app until the options are revealed, tap on app info, and then clear the data to reset your browser.
2. Factory Reset your Device
Resetting your device provides a solution for most software-related problems if your device has slowed down and is being attacked by malware. Resetting your device, while extreme, can get rid of the problem permanently.
- Create a backup of all your important files and documents.
- On Settings application, navigate to ‘System settings.’
- Tap on ‘Advanced’ to view all options.
- Tap on the ‘Reset options’ button to proceed.
- From the options that appear, tap on ‘Delete all data.’
This will brief you about the data that will be deleted from your phone. On the bottom right corner, tap on ‘Erase all data’ to reset your phone.
With that, you have successfully managed to remove viruses and malware from your Android device. It is a well-known fact that prevention is better than cure, and prevention can be exercised by not downloading applications from unwanted sources. However, if you find that your phone in the grasp of Android malware, the aforementioned steps will certainly aid you.
