Here I am posting for both root and without rooted devices with root you can completely uninstall it but if you don’t want to root your phone don’t you can bypass problems from this app.

How to uninstall any virus

Here I am posting removing methods with and without root but if you want to remove this completely then I will suggest you to rooted device method although you can control it in a unrooted device but can’t uninstall it.

For rooted devices

  1. First of all Root your phone.
  2. Install any bloatware removing app like System app safe remover app (link provided)

What is root: Android is operating system in which you have the ability to can change anything in your phone but by default these features are blocked by manufacturer. Process of unblocking these features is known as root

Rooting your phone means you can change anything in your android device like expanding ram, remove ads of apps, Can remove bloatware but on rooting the phone, it will void your warranty but don’t worry you can unroot your phone after deleting this virus from your phone.

  1. How to root your phone: Currently there is no app which can root all devices. Rooting process of different is different so search on google how to root your phone model (go to settings→about phone)
  2. Last step:  Now install System app safe Remover from play store which is made for removing system apps, moving any app to SD card etc and open it on opening it there will a pop up open from SuperSu asking about root permission to give root permission click on grant (you can’t use this app without root permission)popup notification by suptersu

Select this virus and click on uninstall button when you uninstall any app it moves in recycle bin so uninstall from recycle bin too. You are confusing what is the name of this virus. I find many names of this virus given the blow

  • Alarm controller
  • Battery controller
  • Smsmanager
  • Proxyservics
  • wallpapaerservics
  • .com.system.update
  • system certificate
  • music provider
  • net alpha
  •  demo

unisntall ghost push

How to Stop reinstalling proxyserver, smsmanager, etc

some user complains that alarm controller, battery controller is automatic reinstalling because there is an app settings provider delete it too.

 Remove without root

If you do not want to root your phone for any reason then you can restrict data of malware. To restrict unwanted materials from this virus go settings→data usage and scroll down and disable data for the virus which you have. But I will prefer you to uninstall it completely by rooting your phone. If by default your smartphone don’t have restrict data feature then use any firewall app like Noroot firewall.

Note: I have received many complaints this method is not working. so you have to root your phone.

If your phone have that kind of problem but this virus has the different name then please tell the latest name of this virus so I can provide better results for the user because all of the users searches on the internet How to remove smsmanager/alarm controller etc. Comment or use this contact form to tell the latest name.

  2. Root it?? Seriously??? Thats the stupidest thing ever. The phone is safer under “normal” user, as the virus cannot gain administrator privileges. The moment you root it, THE VIRUS CAN GAIN ADMIN PRIVILEGES AND DO ANYTHING IT WANTS. As of now you are safe, as it can only mess with your system data. But just to make sure its gone.
    Now before you do anything, make sure your phone’s bootloader is unlocked. If so, you can root it and immediately install a custom recovery software, like TWRP. Then reformat EVERYTHING, and flash the stock firmware.
    If you have locked bootloader, DONT install TWRP. Just flash the default firmware onto it.

      • After you root, IMMEDIATELY install TWRP. DO NOT ROOT IT AND DO NOTHING, as you will give the virus enough time to do whatever it wants under root.

    • Did yoy ever created virus for Android, i created. Rooting isn’t invite virus and you can unroot your device after removing this virus

      Reply
      • Rooting doesn’t invite, but if its a trojan, it can attach to a program that accesses administrator rights, and then screw you. Then finish.

    Thanks for the tip. I recently used this process on my Colors X118, and it helped remove the ProxyServer but after that, it says that I have lost my connection to the Google Server. Nothing from google works. Neither YouTube, nor Gmail..not even PlayStore. How can I solve this problem? Please help
