How do you get rid of a virus? Reset cell phone? What are the good virus protection apps? They are free. Mobile phone: Huawei P30 Pro

For example, Sophos is good for something

Resetting a cell phone always works, of course, except apparently not for a virus from last year, but that you caught it tends towards zero…

Anti-virus apps for Android are usually snake oil.

Make a backup and use your brain to choose the applications that you install and run.

A reset is the only safe way to get a clean system again. Installing an AV program after getting infected is always associated with additional risk if it is really a virus that you have there.

When i open google or chrome is always there you have won a tv or a cell phone but there's my name and my correct address that is the problem

Neija… Doesn't necessarily have to be a virus, pure advertising via the cell phone ID can also be

Mi

Or just manipulated system settings / browser settings.

Just uninstall Chrome, I had that too. Just reinstalled and everything was fine 😉

You can also transfer all data to the pc and then reset

Then in case of doubt you saved the virus. You make a backup before something happens.
However, your description does not indicate a virus.
More like adware.

Ci

THAT can also be, which then also indicates a "virus"

De

Go to Settings and then Apps. There you are looking for chrome. And there you go to memory and go to clear cache and delete all data. Possibly. He asks you if you want to replace the version with the factory version, which you confirm.

Most of the time it is not the cell phone that has a virus, but only an app with malware. So delete the newer apps one after the other and see if it gets better.
