Same problem. But, in my case I already found the virus. But, I dont know if it is okay to delete the package:com.android.system.fqad.

And by the way when I want to get rid off the automatic apps installing on ma device I just go to storage using root explorer then go to data/data/package:com.android.snowfox then I delete that file. And the automatic apps will not show again. but, it will appear again. How frustrating right ? -____-

One removal method that worked on 4.4

One method that worked on two android devices, a True Tab 7 which had a fadeb trojan in System OS and a Hyasong Z1, which had SystemFAQD consisted of downloading a good anti virus app first, I used Stubborn trojan killer on the Tab and ESET on the phone, running these to find threats, ESET is very good, but it won't eliminate system threats, you then root the device using Kingroot, this is a good but a bit disconcerting app, it phones home during the rooting process, but it certainly is effective. You can then use your anti-viral app to remove the threat, Stubborn trojan killer asks for permission first, or you can use the Purify app that is produced by the same team that developed Kingroot, this worked well on the phone. Hope this helps.

Good news!

My tablet was infected with system fqad / snowfox for months. Tried to remove with various apps, and no results. Last, I tried this method: .quora.com/How-do-I-remove-the-adware-named-snowfoxcr-which-keeps-installing-apps-on-my-mobile-without-my-permission ....and system fqad returned again.

Finally I was using "Mobile Uncle Tools" swapped in "installed" folder, selected system fqad and simply deleted it. Never appeared again.

Unfortunately, Mobile Uncle Tools was upgraded and was renamed. I don't know if it's working like original one.

I hope it's works for you. Post yours results and shared it.

Por último, tentei este método:.quora.com/How-do-I-remove-the-adware-named-snowfoxcr-which-keeps-installing-apps-on-my-mobile-without-my-permission ...e system fqad retornou novamente.

Finalmente, eu estava usando o programa "Mobile Uncle Tools", entrei na pasta "Installed", selecionei system fqad e simplesmente o deletei. Nunca apareceu novamente.

Infelizmente, Mobile Uncle Tools foi atualizado e renomeado. Não sei se está funcionando como o original.

Espero que funcione para vocês. Envie seus resultados e compartilhe.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cionetobi:
Try to freeze this maware using "ROM Toolbox Lite".

The app causing problems may be: "system FQAD"

Freeze this app (system FQAD).

Delete folder name snowfox (in storage/android/data/snowfox). Also delete content in storage/download and storage/temp (this folder show as hidden)

In my case the app "system FQAD" is keeping freeze until I turn off or reset my device. And than, it returned again.

I delete it using "Mobile Uncle Tools" (delete by root option) and never appeared again.

If you see the app named "android update", freeze it too.

I hope this help you

I just bought brand new Prestigio Multipad Wize 3408 4G.. They opened it in front of me, after i get back home haven't yet installed any apps, after connecting to the INTERNET emediately started showing adds and downloading non wanted apps, installing apps on background without premition etc. I found that NOT only the SystemFQAD is responsible for that. I freezed it and see that is not running, but still having adds, no cache on it or etc. Also this snow...whatever folder appears. I sow that SoftTool also have premitios to show tings on the top. I sow that there is no information about that app in google search. When I disable it everything stops, after restart, anything goes back again. The tablet is with Lolipop 5.1 and have an option BATTERY POWER SAVE mode, when I turn it on, go to runing apps and stop SoftTool and there is no problem. It backs again when turn charging, because turns off battery power safe mode automaticaly whyle charging. The good is when the mode is on even after restarting the tablet or just power it off, the mode does not stop, so after start again is in power safe mode ( the red bars ).

I dont want to root the tablet until the waranty is off, because it violates it. But I see that is an mass problem, specially in small countries. Most of smartphones and tablets are coming with preinstalled malware

Factory reset is very high-level. You need low level format of the hard drive in order to make sure EVERYTHING is erased, then you need to reinstall the Android OS.

I recommend TWRP or CWM to perform the hard drive format.

---------- Post added at 06:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:02 AM ----------

Yes, it is possible. You will need to install a custom recovery (TWRP) and format the hard drive.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gakio12:
I'm not sure if people have heard of Speedify, but it's a service that bonds two or more networks together for better reliability or faster speeds. I use it all the time on my desktop to bond my home internet and tether my phone while gaming so i have am unbreakable connection (if one internet goes down or slows down, the next fastest takes over seemlessly).

Recently they released an android version that uses WiFi and cell data, but due to a bug in the Android 6.0 Adreno 4XX driver, the app crashes on my Nexus 6P. I do have a note 3 with cm12.1 that i was able to try it on, however.

I absolutely love the concept, seeing how i can be walking on campus, on a hangouts call and the switching between WiFi and cell networks ends the call. This would fix that, and many other issues i have (though for some reason they assume all my WiFi is unlimited, wish i could set WiFi to secondary connection, but i digress).

Unfortunately, from what i experienced on the note 3, Speedify for Android has a long way to go. While browsing the internet with Speedify connected, Speedify used twice as much battery as the screen. It absolutely drained my battery like nothing I've seen before. At one point Speedify crashed and when i went to open it again it just got stuck on the loading screen and would never start up again, even after a reboot, reinstall, etc.

I'd like to hear other's experiences with Speedify for Android as well. I love the idea and use it all the time on my desktop or laptop (granted there is a max speed of ~70-90 Mbps), and i really hope Qualcomm fixes the Adreno driver bug so i can try it on my Nexus 6P. I also hope that Speedify makes the app more battery friendly so it could be used full time (and also allow WiFi to be secondary / backup and have usage limits).

I think you flash the lower version of stock rom like s025, s029.. and I think your device is new model.. so just press the 3 hard buttons (power + vol up + down) at the same time, when it is in switch off condition, flash s036 or s038 stock rom and your problem will be fix... if u can't switch off, just open andn remove the battery connector then connect again.
