Like the Above User Said Plug it In a Pc and Run Antivirus On ur Mobile fone ! It the Virus Still Persists Then U will Have to Format All of ur Phone Memory Plus the M2 Card !
plug your phone into the pc (IF YOU HAVE AN ANTIVIRUS) THEN SCAN THE ENTIRE PHONE DRIVE TO FIND AND DELETE THE VIRSU ANOTHER ANTERNATIVE IS TO DELETE THE WHOLE CONTENTS (not reccomended)
First of all, it is important for you to realize that your phone is most definitely NOT infected. There are no viruses that can work on your phone.
Now, you didn’t tell us why exactly you think that your phone has a virus. If it is just acting weird, then it’s probably some kind of hardware failure – take it to a repair shop. If, however, some anti-virus program has told you that it contains a virus, there are two alternatives.
First, it is perfectly possible that the anti-virus program in question is causing a false positive – i.e., reporting (by mistake) as a virus something that isn’t. If this is the case, report the problem to the developers of the anti-virus product – or get a better anti-virus product.
Second, if the phone looks like an USB drive when connected to a PC, and if you have connected it to a PC which is infected with some particular kinds of viruses, the virus can copy itself from the PC to the phone. However, it will be inert there – it cannot run on the phone and cannot even infect another PC from is, because autoplay doesn’t work for USB drives. So, technically, the phone is not infected, although it does contain a copy of the virus – and this copy will be reported by a PC-based anti-virus program when you tell it to scan the drive which represents the phone that is attached to the PC.
If this is what is happening (i.e., if the PC was also found to be infected), then simply use the anti-virus program in disinfection mode to remove the files it detects as malicious – or note (in its report) where they are and delete them manually.
