How to remove automatic pop up downloads that ask you to install the application

Why do random applications ask to install after unauthorized unknown download? And how do you get rid of random pop up installs? This question came from an android user in United States and this article will teach you and he how to get rid of those annoying unknown downloads. I too have had problems like this before in the past and for some time it really started affecting me because my space will get eaten up by these useless apps and Data run out quickly because of pop up install apps. One day I could be normally using my phone and another multiple applications such as launchers, Tubemate etc would just pop up on my home screen and ask to install.


There is nothing more annoying in the world for random apps just to download without your consent because not only does the bill come out from your own pocket but now you have to keep cancelling the install page just to get on with your day. Step by step we will find the root of the problem and hopefully get rid of it.

Pay attention to your current apps

When you download applications by yourself make sure to take note if random pop up installs just happen. This will give you the idea that the applications you have may be causing downloads to occur and hence you need to get rid of those applications. I’ve mostly seen this in many launcher apps as they can download add ons they think you need.

Also make sure when you connect to Wi-Fi disable automatic updates in Google play store Mobojenie or one mobile market etc. Which you can find in that application’s settings because what happens all the time is that the app creator generally leaves automatic wifi updates on when connected to WI-FI so you don’t have to manually update all of them by yourself.


Check your Data usage

By checking your data usage you can identify exactly how your data’s being used and by what applications. Once you do that you can basically start uninstalling those applications and make sure to look for an alternative apps that don’t feed on your data. You can find the data usage
page in settings

Restrict Background data usage 

At this point I’ve actually considered that you might want to actually keep those draining applications and to do that you need to restrict their data usage so you don’t suffer in the long run.  Like the previous step once you’ve visited the data usage log on your android device to actually restrict background you need to tap on the application scroll to the bottom and check the restrict background usage for that particular application. This helped me save hundreds of MBs because at first I’d see apps eating up my data in the background which made very frustrated and spend money buying more bundles.


Look at “all apps” in settings 

 There was this certain time I mistakenly installed an application which I downloaded straight from the net that had the logo of android and was only a few mbs and started with com.Wessydk.uk or something which indicated to me was a virus or some code that eats your data in return from some applications and there are two ways to get rid of this completely. Go to settings> apps> scroll to all and then look for applications that aren’t meant to be there and uninstall them.  If that doesn’t work you’re better factory resetting your whole phone so it can be normal again.  The huge problem with these .com.abvisoft.eu whatever they’re called is that they can potentially steal your information by key logging

 Lucky patcher apk way 

The good thing about this is you don’t have to factory reset your phone if the .com.whatever apk you accidentally installed on your device isn’t uninstalling.  All you have to do is jump into lucky patcher’s s and look for any abnormalities with the apk icons which usually is the android green guy but make sure you uninstall it .Do not accidentally uninstall your system files that are on there to make surre you’re not doing that go to lucky patchers settings and make sure the “show system apps” box is unchecked. You can also download an antivirus such as Avast to help you get rid of the problem.

So that’s all the ways I’ve  personally discovered to get rid of automatic unauthorized downloads and I just wanted to say thanks for reading this all to the end and If you still face issues with data just depleting you can still fill out the contact form below and I’ll update this post as much as possible.
