hey what's up everybody its Dallas with
gadget hacks and today I'm going to show
you the best way to uninstall malware
from an Android device
[Music]
let's say your phone has a bunch of
malware apps installed on it or maybe
your friend came to you and he really
just doesn't know what he's doing he
installed just about every app he could
find now his phone is loaded up with
nothing but malware well rather than
fighting through all that sluggishness
that malware would cause in that
instance the first thing you should
probably try is to boot into safe mode
now to do that for most devices nowadays
all you got to do is long press the
power off entry and the power menu then
press ok on this reboot to safe mode pop
up but let's say for instance that the
malware is somehow suppressing the power
menu you just can't get the power menu
to come up right that would be the case
if you got one of those FBI $500
ransomware viruses on your phone somehow
well in that case you'll have to force a
reboot or perform a hard reset rather to
do that with most phones you just press
and hold and continue to press and hold
the power button for about 10 seconds
while you're holding it down it'll
eventually just force a reboot that also
may require that you press this volume
down button and some devices like newer
Samsung but while it's rebooting now you
want to press and hold both power I mean
both volume buttons at the same time and
just keep holding those volume buttons
down while it does its thing during boot
up and eventually you should see this
little safe mode badge at the bottom of
the screen
what safe mode really is is just Android
without any third-party apps so that
includes malware which means that now
your phone is not going to be running
super slow because of all the malware
and if you had to rant similar thing
like that FBI virus I was talking about
it's not gonna be hijacking your screen
anymore so for me are simple enough just
head to settings and then of course
scroll down and find apps and then the
downloaded section you'll find all the
apps that have been manually added to
your phone just flip through these find
anything fishy tap the uninstall button
and you'll be free of malware in almost
no time but for more tips and tricks
