Since many days I was experiencing notifications to install unknown apps on my Android phone. I thought there is some Application which was trying to install them. So I started finding root cause and here is what I found.
I have installed Go Launcher on my Nexus 4. Go Launcher comes with an addition plugin called Go TaskManager EX. Using this Plugin I narrowed my investigation to .APK files present in my phone and the result was astornishing.
I was able to locate all the Apps which were trying to get auto installed on my phone in the list. I simple selected all the malicious Apps and deleted them.
Here are the steps:
Go to "Go Task Manager Ex"
Tools
APK Scan
Locate all unknown Apps which some malicious App must have placed them unknowingly. This tool also helps you locate High-risk Apps on your phone which helps you to clean them as well. Plus this is free.
