I got a notification of malware found on Fotaprovider but I can’t remove it with Avast Online Security or in Safe Mode. Is Fotaprovider a threat or is it just a false alarm?
Test the app at VT (https://www.virustotal.com) and post the link to the result here.
In order to remove Fotaprivider, you will need to root the phone.
It comes with phones made in China.

Way to do it, credits go to “saidshow” there
Hi Guys,I had the same issue. I used ‘package name viewer’ to identify a second name for the package. I then used the steps below to remove:
mobile@ubuntu:~/android/sdk/platform-tools$ adb shell
shell@klte:/ $ su
root@klte:/ # mount -o rw,remount /system
root@klte:/ # rm -rf /system/priv-apps/com.android.push.alarm.apk
root@klte:/ # rm -rf /system/priv-apps/com.android.dserw.ds.apk
root@klte:/ # rm -rf /data/data/com.android.push.alarm
root@klte:/ # rm -rf /data/data/com.android.dserw.ds
root@klte:/ # mount -o ro,remount /system
root@klte:/ # exit
shell@klte:/ $ exit
Crap like this and/or insecure IoT devices should be taken from the market and the cybercriminals that allow such schemes punished by authorities.
