Malware is something that unfortunately regularly affects Android. Although it had been a while since something about a major attack was published. But, a new malware attack has occurred.

A new malware has infected 5 million Android devices
The cause this time is an application called System Wi-Fi that is installed by default on phones from brands such as Huawei, Xiaomi, Samsung, Honor or Vivo. So it is something that affects many users as you can see.
Malware affects Android
It seems that the application, when it is not pre-installed, has the ability to be installed on the phone without the user having to give it permission. Therefore, it is difficult, if not impossible, for the user to know that it has been installed. Although the Android control allows us to identify if we have been infected by this malware.
What you have to do is go to the phone settings, then applications and check if any of these processes are installed in the system applications:
- com.android.yellowcalendarz (每日 黄 历) com.changmi.launcher (畅 米 桌面) com.android.services.securewifi (系统 WIFI 服务) com.system.service.zdsgt
If the answer is yes, then you have been infected. But the good part is that we can uninstall these processes manually from the phone's own settings. So there is no need to panic. Since the problem has a solution. If you have a phone with the Google operating system of the mentioned brands, it should be checked.
