Also, the device may restart on its own. Or, when you would like to do it intentionally, the time of shutdown or restart may be much longer than usual. 
  • The number of pop-ups increases significantly. In such cases, you experience an excessive number of virus pop-ups that prevent you from adequate use of your smartphone and necessary programs.

Possible ways to remove spyware from your smartphone

Possible ways to remove spyware from your smartphone

There are several options on how to remove spyware from your mobile device:

1. Change your password. If you suspect that someone else has also accessed your applications, it may be because your passwords were compromised. That is why it is better to change it and close access to your data for third parties. It will be crucial if you use applications of financial institutions and there is a threat of losing money and other critical data. 

2. Remove the apps you do not use. Often, the apps that you no longer use comprises a threat to your security. They become a target for hackers through which they access your personal data stored on your smartphone. 

3. Enable two-factor authentication. If hackers have access to your login details, it does not mean that they will access the targeted application. It is because they will have to have your smartphone physically, or they will have to transmit the passcodes to them. 

4. Run the antivirus scan. If the malware is not too complicated and is not of high quality, the antivirus app will find it and will help to remove it from your device. 

5. Update your mobile OS. Updating the Operating System on your smartphone may help to remove the spyware from your device. However, do not forget to back up your critical data before doing this in order not to lose something important.

6. Update to factory settings. The formatting of your phone’s memory is a radical step, but it will help to rid of any malware that is spying on you through your smartphone.
