Troubleshooting Your Parent’s Smartphone: Tackling Annoying Ad Viruses
When it comes to technology, our parents often rely on us for guidance. Recently, I found myself in the position of troubleshooting my mother’s Moto E22 smartphone, which had become plagued by an incessant stream of advertisements due to what I believe is a nasty virus.
Upon discovering the issue, I took immediate action to identify the root cause. First, I conducted a thorough examination of the device for any malicious applications or suspicious files. I also reviewed the permissions granted to various apps, particularly those that had the ability to display overlays on the screen, as these can often be a red flag.
Despite my efforts, I couldn’t find any unwanted downloads or installations in the typical locations. After exhausting those initial avenues, I was left feeling frustrated and in need of assistance.
