damn viruses.... · 10:44am Jul 24th, 2016
My phone is infected with a virus that is saying that i have done something illegal and for security reasons the phone is locked by the police... this is the second time this virus infected my phone. Last time we checked with the police and they said that it's a scam/blackmail thing that wants 100 euros to unlock the phone. Same thing now. So what i will do, is get a new phone since my current phone is about four or five years old. It restarts randomly sometimes and is not the best phone but still a decent one.
But now that it is once again locked by the virus, it is time to throw it out. So that means that in the meantime, i won't be able to check the updates or read here in fimfiction, as the phone is my primary means of checking fimfiction. I don't always have access to a computer, like now....
Goddammit.....
this is going to be annoying....
Yikes...
4109922 yep. spooked me the first time, it accused me of having/watching "forbidden pornographic material" aka "childporn".... and that is something i hate so much that i want to do all Doom Slayer on that subject. Rip and tear the ones responsible for that evil, to tiny bloody pieces, with gore covering the room everywhere.
then i noticed that there are spelling errors on it and got suspicious. next day to the police and they say it's a scam/blackmail thing.
honestly, i have no clue where this virus could have come from since i only go to fimfiction pretty much. Fimfiction is a safe site, safer than most news sites, anyway...
4109944 Hm. I don't know either
This happened to me a bit ago, go into safe mode and do z factory reset, once reset, download antivirus onto your phone
4110755 i would do it but i don't know how to go to safe mode. the reset i know how, but hard to do it when the screen is covered with the announcement that the virus places in front to prevent any access to moving on phone. can't do anything when the phone is on, but i have a small window when turning the phone on but it is too small to do anything.
my phone is an Samsung X-Cover 2 if i remember it right. so can you help?
4111638To do this, long press your Power button. Then long press on the Power off option. You will then be asked to reboot into safe mode.
4111866 nope. didn't get the safe mode option, just restarted the phone...
