Ftechy.com Virus

Ftechy

It can be really frustrating if every time you try to use the Internet on your Android device, different pop-ups, banners, box messages and page redirects like Ftechy start to appear on your screen. Not only is that very irritating and unpleasant but there are also a number of security risks for your Android smartphone or tablet associated with such an uncontrolled stream of ads from Ftechy.

Another related symptom that you might also be experiencing is changes to your browsing app (Firefox, Opera, Chrome, the default browsing app of the device or any other). Such changes could be anything from a replaced starting page or new-tab page to a changed default search engine and the addition of some weird new buttons to your browser.

Avoiding hijackers in the future

The most important rule here would be to be really considerate with regards to the software sources that you use to download new apps. Only trust reliable and popular software sources like the Google Play Store and avoid the ones that seem sketchy or suspicious since the most common way hijackers get distributed is as parts of other apps. Also, when you are about to download some new app, take a few moments to look it up on the Internet and see if any users have had any complaints about it, in which case you shouldn’t download it.

If you are still seeing Ads in your browser, it is likely they are generated by the websites you visit and there is nothing you can do about it.

However, if you are seeing Adverts outside of your internet browser, then one of your installed Apps contains the problematic Adware. In this case you need to take a look at this guide.
