Great video. I got a message about my package being delayed because of a bad address. Without thinking I clicked on it and was about to put in my address when I thought I should check it out. Thankfully I didn't go any further but was still worried they may have installed malware or something. Thanks, I feel much better. I deleted everything that I didn't recognize. I don't really use my phone for business. I am elderly and still use my computer mostly. I do use my phone when I am traveling. I followed your video the best that I could.
This is brilliant and absolutely invaluable. You explained things very clearly and in 'normal speed' so even a non-tech peep like me can understand it! Thank you both very much.
Thank Yall for all the great help and tips, I'm going to try some of the things yall showed and talked about. Thank yall for actually giving a demonstration.
10:06 this is why my phone was so slow. Every single time i would use google, i didnt know it would make a tab that i have to delete since im on a phone not a computer. And when i opened the tabs, there were billions of tabs that i never closed.
@@PayetteForwardThank you, I thought I had a virus on my Android bc I downloaded a app saying that it has virus and I deleted it just today, Went to phone security then it usually says that I have 3 virus on my phone, I scan then it says no risk found, did everything shown in this video, found no virus i guess it was a glitch. Was also very confused bc none of theses happened to me expect phone getting hot only when I charge but it's like not super hot it's a little hot, found no problem
What you are talking about is so complicated (and it's not your fault but it is due to the chaos in the internet) that one must become an IT specialist besides the basic profession if one wants to be protected from spams and viruses on the smartphone...
I have been getting so many scary pop-ups saying I have 15 viruses, my phone has been hacked etc., (as at 9:31). So much so I have not been able to use the phone’s internet. But now that I have followed this video, I think they are all gone! Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Glad to hear that. I have the same problem now. Will continue watching. Getting back hope :) How do you know for sure that they are all gone? They could spy you unnoticably and attack later maybe? I had downloaded a "software" online to upgrade my android version which my phone would not offer itself and I can barely use any app anymore.. For the first hours nothing happened, but now I am spammed with such "virus-alerts". Are these true alerts or just a "virus" attack??
it's sad for those who use android cellphones or tablets, you only get security updates for 3 - 5 years on android phones and then you can't update anymore unlike iPhone even if you already have an iPhone. use for a decade, you still have security updates of one to three updates a year.
I actually came here because i was on a website and saw a popup say i have a virus or something and tried closing it because i just thought it was an actual virus but when i tried tapping the x it sent me to a different website and i just dont wanna deal with the headache of having a virus on my phone.
I think my phone has a virus every pic in my gallery turned black and I can't open any vid and a day before this happened I installed an app on Google chrome in an unknown website idk how to clean it
Thanks so much ... took a snap shot of wi-fi data usage ... than made a phone call and ads popped up and went back into wi-fi data usage and took another snapshot and compared them and noticed a notepad app was higher in second snapshot and removed the app and no more pop up ads after a phone call
30%-40% I find gpay icon on my home screen highlighted when I unlock. This started with Android 12 on my Pixel 3. I only use gpay 1-2 times a month. It worries me but I've never had a bad charge. Wish I know why or how. Maybe wish Android 12 had not been pushed offered to my phone.
Help! Whenever i send a text on my android, another text also gets sent out to the same person without my knowing. It says "large file available click to download/play" a long hyperlink then follows. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to remove it?
I wanted to download mods for a game, but i had a notification saying "You have a virus!!!" I immediately closed the tab and went to this video, thanks

Hello,Can you please make a video on how to allow apps to access android files? When I'm trying to give permission to an app to use my Android files it says "to protect your privacy please select another file" and it's really annoying I'm on Samsung Android 13. Thank you very much.
Hello. Yesterday, I noticed that the sound on my iPhone 13 suddenly sounds worse and quieter. I thought it was a hardware problem, but it happens even when I connect my Airpods or any others headphones. I think it's a software problem. Can you guys help me and tell me how to solve this issue?
In my opinion, it depends on how old your phone is and how often you use it. Sometimes phones (and other electronic devices) behave strangely because they're old or they're being overused. If I were you, I'd try rebooting your phone (if you haven't done so already). If that doesn't work, try to visit an electronics store and ask an actual professional to help you. (Not trying to be rude- english isn't my native language, so I can sound weird sometimes.) Sorry if these advices don't help. I'm not an IT expert or anything, I'm just someone who happens to know some things about device security and how phones work. (from my personal experiences and by doing some research). Have a nice day. (I noticed your comment is 6 months old. I hope it's been solved by now!)
Maybe im just worrying over nothing but i download a game from chrome and when i was playing it maybe is bcs i never rly gave a thought of how fast my battery drains [ im using S23 Ultra ] but it seemed suspicious and after i played the game for like 5 mins and saw my battery was draing fast i deleted the game and the file checked all these steps ran like 5 times the check for any suspicious apps but everything was ok no threads but as far as i recall the battery wasnt draing this fast so what do i do is there any app to use on pc to check my phone if theres a problem bcs im rly getting pissed over this like the phone isnt even hot and the batter is draing for no reason ffs
That just means you watch alot of TH-cam🗿, also my TH-cam app sometimes also uses more than 100% battery, but there's some external factors to TH-cam taking more than 100% battery, because 1. I use TH-cam a lot, 2. I don't use the stock TH-cam app, I use TH-cam ReVanced Extended, 3. My battery is degrading because it's 6 years old 💀
I use xiaomi, but i always got apps that i didn't even install, i never thought about it until i found this vid, i followed all the instructions but in the settings, i dont have a uninstall button, what should i do?
I'm surprised this wasn't mentioned: if your phone says "Your bootloader is unlocked and the device cant be trusted" and you didn't explicitly unlock the bootloader that means you for sure have malware
i need your help i have a huge problem my youtube has a strange malware spam it shows an awful contents on all the videos at one contents that irritate me i removed youtube n re download it but it keeps doing the same i followed all your security steps however it still continued im fedup n dont knwo what really to do and my storage data its all appears in red color
if you have to use a Public Charging Stations buy a data blocker allows you to charge your Android, Apple, or other phone or electronic device while keeping it safe from viruses and hackers. or buy a USB-A to USB-C Data Blocker Charge-Only Cable - No-Data Power-Only Charger Cable for Phone/Tablet - Data Blocking USB Protector Adapter Cable
I am not sure if i have virus beacuse i allways accidently click the ad under the video and it takes me to a website the websites look innocent but i am not sure thanks for making this video
Well what do I do if someone from home has muti phones coping your phone and then have remote access, there are many settings I can't change, and one main one is under special access, then the do not disturb about every new app or web page added is there and I can't change jt. And it has been factory and hard reset many many times, like weekly and the problem is always there....the phone company nor other internet companies that are connected on phones couldn't fix. And it doesn't show anything in admin but find my mobile ..
Number 10 it was i was looking for the app i didn't install and the app had no name and no icon but when i was on a different app it keep sending messages to a adult website. So thank you
Also Samsung Internet uses 150% Batterie but I use that app for everything, for watchting TH-cam reading manga and more its the App I use the most so its hard for me to figure out where the Virus exactly comes from
Other thana that everything seems fine the "Virus" or whatever I have are whitee transparent lines on both sides of my screen and a Red box with an white ! Next to my camera sometimes the ! Disapears and when my lock screen is on none of them are on my screen

My app icons have started duplicating. Can't figure out how to stop it or what it means. Can you illuminate? Scared to use my phone for anything sensitive now, but I must as it is my only device.

New phone for me, S21 Ulta and I checked all these things. The battery drains quickly, most days. I'm unsure how to adjust the sync rate, overall, let alone what the Operating system does in Samsung. When I turn off sync, battery charger mellows. Yet, the phone is still busy. There is Something running, just cannot figure out what or where. I liked my old Samsung better, allowed me control for only syncing once an hour. And the operation in the background was more user visible. Thanks for the video. 😊 Following along, I found some settings were changed. Seems after a few updates, that 2 or 3 things reactivated. Bad Samsung!
can someone help me? i left my phone charging on my home and when i came back, a random file appeared on my gallery. What's going on? 'cause i'm freking out
Someone may have been using a malware worm, I recommend getting off of your network while it's charging or keep it off all of the time. Also, try getting a trusted anti-virus by a very trusted engineer. And if that was not what it was then I really have no idea, alot of stuff like this happens but maybe it's a virus that can spread to the devices around them.
Thank you so much I have notifications from a app that I didn't install that doesn't have name and image then I deleted and my phone charge more faster 😅

Good thing is, you can unlock your phone and switch os which still gets security updates
