[QUOTE="xSploit, post: 744828, member: 1755"] The best and most effective option is simply[B] backing up all your data[/B] and [B]flashing the ROM[/B]. The Samsung Note 3 is really easy to flash a ROM to (and that would eliminate any virus [writing a virus that would reside in the download partition and affect the Android partition is possible, but anyone who could do that wouldn't - there are too many other, and legitimate, things to do]).
