Thanks for the very good info...... that is if it really works.


But how do you deal with viruses that hide themselves.

Please can it remove viruses that makes itself a system app in non rooted phones like "monkey test" and "time service"


Also can your recommendations spot and erase a stagefright malware.


UPDATE: Ghost Push Trojan Killer works only for rooted phones. My question was regarding the one that works for non rooted phones.
