Phone Security Issue

cf5214

Hi,

I have an UMI Diamond phone (Android 6.0). I have the Malwarebytes app installed. And it occasionally notifies me there is a security issue with 'Installing apps from unknown sources'. So, I go to Settings, Security and switch 'Unknown sources - Allow installation of apps from unknown sources' to NO, and the problem is temporarily fixed. However, it keeps switching back to YES because when I open Malwarebytes a few days later I am again notified that there is a security risk with 'Installing apps from unknown sources'.

So, why does it keep switching back to YES, and how do I stop this from happening?

Thanks

Thats because Umi preinstalled at least one malware in their stockrom you might want to check out the megathread in this forum...

What is the link to this megathread?

And how can I remove the malware on the phone?

Thanks

I've got UMI Diamond as well.

And my DrWeb anti-virus alerts me that there is Android.Backdoor.319 in the System.odex. So it cannot be removed without rooting the phone.

Could you please provide me with a virus-free firmware?

Regards!
