How do I remove adware from my Android phone?
After restarting your device in Safe Mode, go to Settings > Apps. This will bring up a list of all the apps on your device. Adware apps usually come with a greenish-blue icon and use generic file names such as Update, Back-Up, etc. Tap on the icon of the app you want to remove and select Uninstall.
