Hi, Nusaiba! Most likely the problem is in the optimizer or the so called Huawei manager (aka system app that detects Google as a virus). First update Google again (the version where the virus is detected). Then, first: Force stop the Huawei optimizer/manager and then delete the data from its application. Hope this helps.
