[Misc] Anyone know of a shop in Brighton which can remove a virus from an Android phone?

[Lyndhurst 14]

Managed to get my phone infected with a pop up virus I cannot shift. If anybody knows of a shop / service which does virus removal from an Android phone it would be much appreciated.

Most places like ISmash only do repairs and the virus removal places listed on Google only seem to do virus removal from PCs and iPhones.

Thanks

Can’t you reset the device?

Why not factory reset? If you have everything backed up to Google or another cloud service your data and pictures will be secure, it should in most cases remove the virus.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Yup, factory reset should do it.

Otherwise, try this https://www.eset.com/int/home/mobile-security-android/

Apple Store and a grand should fix this issue.

How did you manage to acquire the pop up? The only time I come remotely near that risk is the usual hunt for live streams for Albion away games.

Come on. Don't ask the fella to publicly admit it
