How to delete unwanted spam?!!

hey...
i have international rooted gs2..
every time after i install an app, the same spam wanting me to download some netqin virus security keeps coming up!
any suggestions or instructions on how to remove this?
help will be greatly appreciated.

Try to figure out what program you installed right before this happened, then install titanium backup and remove it.

That would be this app:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nqmobile.antivirus20&hl=en
Either uninstall anything that mentions it from settings -> Applications -> Manage, or flash a custom firmware that isn't full of bloatware.
If you've installed an app called "Android Booster" from the same company, then that might be the culprit.
It might be any of these apps too:
https://market.android.com/developer?pub=NetQin+Mobile+Inc.
Googling "android netqin" turned all this up.

How do I get rid of annoying message about unsafe app installed...

I keep getting this annoying message about an unsafe app is being installed and to reboot my device. How do I stop this as it's very annoying! I looked in "Security" under settings but I couldn't really find anything that'd help....
Just got it when activating Google Now.. here's the exact message "The device has detected an application attempting unpermitted actions. To protect your device, it is recommended you reboot."

I had that problem, it was talking about superuser i'd suggest uninstall it then reinstall it. But I doubt that would work, you might have to fix the root.
I don't see why it would have to do with google now either.

Fix the root?? I'm on stock MDL Deodexed.

Got to delete the knoxagent.apk should be able to delete using rootexplorer. I
From what I gather it is safe to remove and is basically just a "security" app built into the Sammy system. Should fix the issue.

Can also just freeze SEAndroid with TB or Rom Toolbox and message will not appear.

[Q] Information on preventive actions

So this is what I get when I turn om my wifi:
"A program has been forced to quit because of an unauthorized attempt to access the system on your device. It may be safer to delete an application if it comes from an unauthorized source. Check now?"
I have deleted all apps that I have installed from google play, as this is the only place I have apps from.
Any suggestions how I can find out where this comes from?

Is Encryption Broken on Android 6.0?

I received my Nexus 6P today, which is running Android 6.0.
By default, the device is encrypted. But it seems most apps that I try to run that require encryption don't realize that my device is encrypted and I'm getting errors and loops: Gmail, Sunrise, Mailwise, Outlook.
Is there something I can do to get these apps to work?
I don't seem to be able to disable and re enable encryption.
Is this happening to anybody else?

6P has hardware encryption. You need to encrypt it through software also.

They want this

Thank you. That seems to fix it. For those people googling this you get there from Settings > Security > PIN Lock > Secure Start-up
Not a very intuitive fix and should probably be bundled with the encryption settings.

I skipped through the startup to unlock and root the phone immediately when I got it and I didn't get the option for secure startup afterwords, took me forever to find that setting.

You have disabled a required permission

So i just updated to 10.5.10 IN11BA, im rooted and have xXx 11.7 running with stock dialer/contacts... The "Phone" app works as intended but when ever i try to open "Contacts" i get this "You have disabled a required permission" and contacts refuse to open.
Obviously I'w enabled all permissions for both Phone and Contacts.
One wierd thing to point out is that in the permission list i have 2 entrys of "Storage", im sure they are the same permission though since i can't just disable/enable one of them.
I re-downloaded 10.5.10 and flashed it localy to see IF that fixed anything but no luck.
Anyone know of there is a way to fix this without wipeing system/data and reflashing?

I have the exact same issue. Have you found a fix?

Check Google..
I disabled a load of permissions. I didn't want them knowing everything.
Caused issues until I turned it back on.
Might be why

I'm having exactly the same problem after I enabled the Google dialer, only to find out my phone wasn't ringing and all calls were going straight to VM. So I decided to disable it & all hell broke loose.
Please, did you figure out a way to fix it?
