Preparation before removal of malware.

Before starting the actual removal process, we recommend that you do the following preparation steps.

Step 1: Shut Down your phone to win some time

Shutting down your phone can be done by pressing and holding its power button and choosing shut down.

In case your battery is non-removable, you can try to drain it as fast as possible if you still have control over it.
