Hi, If you think your phone has a malicious app, you'll want to go into Safe mode and uninstall the bad app.

Remember, all third-party apps are disabled when your phone is in Safe mode, so it's a great way to figure out what's causing the problem.

First, completely power off the phone and then power it on again.

When the Samsung logo appears, press and hold the Volume down key.

If done correctly, "Safe mode" will be displayed in the bottom left corner of the screen. If "Safe mode" does not appear, repeat the previous steps.

To remove potentially malicious apps, navigate to Settings, and then tap Apps.

Select the desired app, and then tap Uninstall.

To exit Safe Mode, simply restart your phone and it will reboot normally.

I don't know if you read the post right it's a Tab 4 not a phone.

Hi, the safe mode steps are similar for mobile as well as tab. I am sorry my bad it's my mistake.

No problem I was just pointing it out just in case there is a difference between the two.

what makes you believe that viruses and malicious malware reside in your tablet? 

 

Is it a tab 4 or s4?
