Hi everyone, have you had a hard time figuring out how to uninstall kaspersky from your device. I did uninstall it from my desktop, but I got a warning saying that I had to go into my device management to finish. I'm flustered, and if anyone out there can help me, that would be wonderful. 
Until then, peace ✌️

Adhell3 is not in my apps.

I'm using AdHell3 as an example, I don't use any anti-virus software, because it's a waste of time on Android. 

If you go to Settings >  Security & Privacy > More Security Settings & Device Admin & Click on it you should see Kaspersky & when you try to Toggle it OFF, you should see the next screen will "Deactivate" at the bottom right. Click on Deactivate & then Toggle Off Device Admin & then Uninstall it.

Thank you very much for your time, RedDogRabbit. I think it's gone, and last night I did I stall an American anti-virus, but I think that you're correct. I'm going to uninstall that as well and depend on the built-in in the android version.
If I ever have any other questions, may I ask you for your advice?

Sure. 

And like I said, I don't use any anti-virus software, not even McAfee that is included with Samsung. 

Android devices aren't anything like a Windows computer, and viruses are not a thing with Android. 

The people who talk about viruses for Android, are the people who make the antivirus software.. 

Even when you could Root Samsung devices, I never used any Anti-virus & never, ever had any issues.
