Removing Ghost Push Virus isnt easy. Why?
Because most known anti-virus cannot remove it. I usually use Avast or Malwarebytes which is a very good anti-virus application but they turned out to be no good when dealing with Ghost Push Virus. Even doing a hard reset cannot eliminate this virus because it has injected itself as a system application.
 

In removing Ghost Push Virus, you can try two things:

  1. Flash your Android Device with its stock firmware.
  2. Using CM security application with Stubborn Ghost Push Killer application.

Removing virus using CM security and Stubborn Ghost Push Killer Application.

  • Perform a hard reset on your device by entering recovery mode and wiping all data on your phone.
  • After reboot, go to settings -> Security. And make sure that you unchecked the - Allow Installation from Unknown Resources.
  • Add a Google account and download and install from Google Play Store - CM Security and Stubborn Ghost Push Killer application.
  • If youre having a hard time downloading and installing because of non-stop pop-up ads or theres an error in installing, disconnect from your device from Internet connection. Then manually download the application .apk file on your pc.

  • Save the apk file on your device.Before installing, select first the allow installation from unknown resources in security settings, then Install the applications. Do not forget to uncheck it after you installed the two apps.
  • If you have successfully installed the apps, click on scan (it will need Internet Connection).
  • In some cases, your device needs to be rooted before the application could remove the virus totally. You can use any of these rooting tools to root your device:

Ghost Push Trojan Virus Can Kills Android Device

 

Ghost Push, A New Kind Of Trojan Virus That Will Seriously Damage Your Android Device

 
When we heard about viruses that might infect our devices, we dont get bothered so much because after all theres so many free anti-virus applications out there, right?

But this new kind of Trojan Virus that recently affects Android devices is seriously requiring much of your attention. Why? Because top rated anti-virus applications and hard reset cannot remove it from your device and it wont stop until your device is broken.



October 12, 2015 - Cheetah Mobile Research Lab announced a warning to Android users against the outbreak of this new Trojan Virus called "Ghost Push".
 
How would you know if your Android device is infected with this virus?

The Symptoms:

Your device turns on Wi-Fi, connects to the Internet then downloads and installs bunch of applications endlessly until your device runs out of memory space.

You cannot uninstall these downloaded applications.

And if you were able to uninstall these apps, after restarting your device, all of those apps are back again in your device.

Factory reset, soft/hard rest may erase these applications but it is only temporary because once your device reboots, these applications installed by the virus are all back again and may even double their number if you still have available space in your device’s memory.

Your device downloads pornographic videos and at times it directly plays the video with full volume. You can’t stop the video from playing nor lower the volume because screen and volume keys seems unresponsive and may force you to pull out your device battery just to shut it down.

Popular and top-rated and Anti-virus applications for Android can detect these virus while making a scan but is unable to delete, uninstall, or remove it.

Device freezes and unusable because of non-stop pop-ups of Ads.

Endless “has stopped working” warning displays on your screen.

Popular and top-rated anti-virus applications for Android can detect these virus while making a scan but unable to delete, uninstall or remove it.

And many more...


Common Infected Apps You May See In Your Device

It is hard to detect at first which application is infected with Ghost Push Virus because it copies popular legit apps that we download even in Google Play Store.

It only take one infected application installed in your device and their party begins. That one infected application installed in your device will download more applications that are infected with different kinds of viruses.

Since your phone is like navigated by a ghost, from turning on your Wi-Fi to connecting to the Internet and from downloading various applications to installing it to your device, you will then wonder why your device prompts for system memory low. Or on morning when you wake up and check on your devices, youll be surprise where these newly installed apps came from and who installed it.

And before you realize it, it has already infected your clean apps as well as your system applications like your contacts, messaging, settings, dialer, email, camera, etc.

That explains why even you format or hard reset your device, the virus remains because your system applications are infected. It is also the reason why anti-virus applications can only detect the virus but cannot remove, delete, or uninstall the infected app.
