HELP! ARMOR FOR ANDROID ANTIVIRUS WONT UNINSTALL OFF PHONE?!?!? - YOUnique - 04-22-2014 05:56 AM
I was on my phone, a Samsung Galaxy Prevail downloading music. Suddenly, a window pops up saying a virus called TapSnake is on my phone. So it said to download and install Armor for Android. Im thinking this stupid app would help get rid of the possible virus. Im now thinking this APP IS THE VIRUS! Now I can't go on Instagram, wtf!! Im on wifi. I tried to uninstall this app and it says uninstall not succesful. Someone help?!

I had to call them.
You won't believe it. (I'm So Pissed!)
They tell you to install;
Lookout Ad Network Detector
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lookout.addetector&hl=en
to find out which product their ads are coming from and uninstall them!!!
