How to Remove Samsung Virus<\/strong><\/p>\n
It is no secret that Samsung phones and tablets have the capacity to mess up your entire day by behaving unreliably at the worst times. As junk piles up and the unwanted software that is littering your homepage increases, your phone is at risk of falling victim to a virus or malware attack. On rare occasions, erratic behavior is a clear indicator that your phone has been infected by a virus or another form of malware.<\/p>\n
Viruses are not very common, and they do not always cause your phone to start acting up; however, it does happen. On rare occasions, these viruses can get transmitted to the phone in question via dodgy applications that were installed from a platform very different from the certified Google Play store.<\/p>\n
The most visible and recurrent symptom offered as evidence of a virus on the phone is seeing multiple popups in the browser. These popups can usually be removed by clearing your browser\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s cache. To do this:<\/p>\n
\n
Go to settings<\/li>\n
Click on Apps<\/li>\n
Select your browser (Most people use Chrome)<\/li>\n
Choose storage<\/li>\n
Click on clear cache<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
To clear your browsing data when you are within Chrome, select the three dots on the top right corner of your screen and click on settings. You should then click on privacy and clear browsing data. Simply select all the applicable options and choose clear data.<\/p>\n
If your phone is still acting up, another way to stop your problems is to perform a factory reset which wipes all your custom settings and data and restores the phone to how it was when you bought it. To do a factory reset on your phone:<\/p>\n
\n
Go to Settings<\/li>\n
Find System<\/li>\n
Click Reset Options<\/li>\n
Erase all data (this option may be worded differently depending on the phone you are using)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
