[QUOTE="Ramad700, post: 961553, member: 93102"] Basically opened a link No accs hacked No apps appearing out of nowhere No strange processes/services running in the background I checked with Malwarebytes (with it's "installed in **/**/****" and "last updated in...." I made sure user/system apps are all real and not some malicious copies of them) The only suspicious activity were my phone's battery and temperature But unlike what a malware would do The battery draining+overheating are random like Sometimes my battery would last 6 hrs Sometimes 5 Sometimes 4 Sometimes it won't even last 1hr,30 mins Same for overheating it would be a random 10 mins of overheating out of nowhere and it would stop and that is it for the rest of the day the phone would be just fine The 10 mins heating would happen everytime I restart/turn on my phone Or when I have it sitting idle for so long and then use it again (and during the 10 mins I would lose instant 10-17%of the battery) How do I make sure this isn't caused by malware and if it is really malware responsible for all of this How do I remove it as it has somehow 100% hid itself (not disguised as a legitimate app but actually hidden from eyesight) [/QUOTE]
