ISSUE 44 • ANDROID ADVISOR 93HOW TOopen the App info page, then click Uninstall. In most
cases, this is all you need to do to remove the virus,
but occasionally you might find the Uninstall button
is greyed out. This is because the virus has given itself
Device administrator status.
Exit the Apps menu and tap on Settings, Security,
Device Administrators. Here you’ll find a list of any
apps on your phone or tablet with administrator status.
Simply untick the box for the app you want to
remove, then tap Deactivate on the next screen.
You should now be able to return to the apps menu
and remove that app.
With the virus now off your Android phone or
tablet, all you need to is restart the device to take it
out of Safe mode.
Now that it’s working correctly it’s a good time
to back up whatever important data you have stored
on the device, and install an Android antivirus app to
protect you from any future viruses.
