Computers are not the only systems that can be affected by the presence of a virus, smartphones also suffer the consequences of these annoying viruses, and it seems that the only solution many times to get rid of them is to restore the system from the factory. For this reason we bring you a tutorial on how to remove a virus on Android without restoring the operating system.

Although this method comes as May water, it is not 100% safe that it disappears and worst of all, if you have not backed up the data stored on the phone you will not be able to recover it.

How to remove a virus on Android without restoring the operating system

The first thing is to identify if it is a virus or not, sometimes the phone does not turn on, it restarts or the applications stop this could be a sign of another problem and not a virus. But if this happens after you have entered a suspicious link, downloaded an application or clicked on a pop-up window… then we can affirm that there is a virus on your Android device.

Try an antivirus

The first step seems quite obvious, is to clean it with an antivirus, if you don't have it, download it. For example we recommend AVG, Kaspersky…

Erase in Safe Mode

In case it does not solve your problem, we recommend you delete it manually with safe mode, what it will do is disable applications that have errors and prevent them from working, to achieve this you must follow the following steps on your Android.

Press the power button until the restart or shutdown message appears, then press and hold where it says off until you see a message saying restart safe mode, there press OK.

Now it only remains to wait for the android device to restart and the safe mode icon appears, once you have done this, enter the settings, downloaded applications and there look for the problematic application, then press delete on the application that is infecting your Android.

If after all this, you have not been able to fix, the solution is to restore from the factory or flash with a new ROM.
