- So it was antivirus software that messed up your device? Thanks for proving the point i was trying to make to this OP. Antivirus programs tend to act as the virus themselves. So ultimately if you use your device properly then they are not required.TgeekB and Thud Hardsmack like this.12-05-16 06:12 PMLike 2

25 . Which apparently is a "Trojan injektor".
Whilst I can appreciate your point of view. The point of Google play being devoid of malware is a fallacy in my view.

The irony in the second link, where Avast is making the virus / malware notifications to Google , isn't lost on me either . There are thousands of posts warning of malware IN the Google play store.

If you performed factory resets, are you restoring or starting from scratch?
At what point do you notice there's a change in your DNS settings?
How are the changes being detected?
How are you setting them correctly?12-05-16 09:58 PMLike 0
