Possible Malware

[Ladyquinn10]

I've had some serious issues with my phone. My calls are being listened to, texts and files being removed, calls being redirected. I was having the same issue with my router I'm dealing with that as. As for the phone, under developer options I checked whats running in the background and its a bunch of things I've never noticed before. I have reset my phone but am still having the issue and also noticed that all of a sudden there is work profile I never created. A lot of them say "remote" on them. Google Play Services has 17 services running which are all weird. Anyone else have this issue?  Below are some of the things Im seeing. I know some are legit. 

Google Play has these running: 

-CollectionService

-DispatchingService

- ExposureMatchingService

-DeviceConnectionWatcherSevice

- GcmService

- PendingIntenCallbackService

- FitRecordingBroker

- ContextManagerService

- NearbyDirectService

- CableAuthenticatorService

- EmergencyPersistentService

- ClearcutDebugDumpService

- EastworldService

MobileWips

-MobileWipsService

Bluetooth

- BluetoothAudioCastService

- A2dpService

- GattService

- BluetoothPbapService

- HearingAidService

- SapService

- HidDeviceService

Processes=

Main Process- com.android.blutooth

Service McfService in use - samsung Muliconnectivity (com.samsung.android.mcfserver)

Those are just some...It gets worse when WIFI is connected. I just did the update and nothing changed. 

Should I be concerned?

I am experiencing ALL THE EXACT SAME THINGS. This is the 1st time I've found someone else experiencing all the exact problems I'm having. R u still seeing this thread?

I am also dealing with the same issues, my laptop even says that my browser is managed but I don't know by who, I've even had read a pop up notification on my phone saying that the system clock has advanced 149 seconds. Why would it do that? And in my recent activity there are logs that I didn't create no do I understand

I feel u  ..I don't doubt for a moment your suspicions. Follow your gut.

I have been suffering very similar conditions for a few years now. I'm in the USA, but I just don't have the technical expertise to figure out how to have a smartphone that does not immediately get infected.  Part of me believes that it's linked to my Google account because that seems to be the only common denominator, I installed new devices with an alternate Google account but inevitably I need some of the services that are on my old account and that seems to be where the circus starts.

Same happened to me, it's stalkerware. See my reply on earlier page

[bigjd]

Its possible it is stalkerware(parental control and phone monitoring). Have you checked to see if a custom rom has been flashed? I'd check the boot loader to see if it is standard or not. The Ui is possibly hiding some apps that you cannot uninstall, due to restrictions set by the ui.

I know who ever did this to my phone changed my operating system but I don't have a clue how to fix it.

Have you found a solution yet. I have the same problem for 2 years now and different phones. Goes pritty deep and is really active these days. Can give you more info. But have you found a way to get rid of it yet?

I have had the same experience, apps are disappearing, reappearing, permissions are changed over night. My device rings constantly when I use the device care app as I set it to do so if it finds malware. I go check in the notification and it says modified app... Touch it and it takes me to the warning page of malware. Yet the app as soon as it finishs it's scan it says there is nothing wrong. Some apps are greyed out completely and I can't get any info.  This has been the worst phone and experience I have had.

Hi ladyquinn10

I'm also having these problems with my phone. It has done my head in, I have been through that many phones to try and get rid of it but can't seem to do so. I know it's spyware which they have used to bully me with. When I tell people they look at me in disbelief and that I have gone nuts. It has been happening for 3 or more years now. It's at the stage that I won't answer calls reply to texts I have distanced myself from friends and family. It's got to the stage I don't want a phone anymore. 

Is there away to fix this?
