Help SWF file automatically and non-stop downloading?

I'm not sure what actually happened as I don't have any viruses according to multiple antivirus apps, but this one SWF file of 117kb supposedly coming from YouTube won't stop repeatedly downloading multiples of itself, and even when I delete it; it will just automatically download itself again and again. I disabled the YouTube stock app that came on this phone to no avail.
I've been repeatedly deleting this file for about 2 weeks now.
I took a screenshot of it in my downloads folder for those curious as it has an odd file name.
No, I didn't download any APK files or any apps outside of the Play Store and even then I was only downloading well known and commonly used apps, and nothing like random flashlight apps.
No matter what, I was generally exercising caution.

Can anyone help me with this problem?
I'd honestly appreciate it as this is getting very annoying now.

To be more specific on the build of the phone, it's the Samsung Galaxy A750 2018 version.

Creating custom ROM

Hello all,

I wasn't sure where to place this since this is a more general question. I figured this section was the most general spot.

I recently got an old Ascend Mate 7 from a friend that I can do what ever with. I figured, I would try to build Android from source and then flash it to the device.

I have already downloaded the source code. I am about to build the source for the Ascend Mate 7. Then, I am found out that I might need to know the Device tree?

There seems to be some conflicting information. Using google's guide, all I need to know is the code name for the device and there we go. We can compile the source!

On the other hand, other guides state that I need to download the device identity such as the tree, vendor, and kernel and include this in the source.

So which is it? Should I just follow Google's guide or do I really need to know the device identity? If the latter, How do I search for the device tree, vendor, and kernel? More importantly, what are these and how do they work in relation to the Android source?

Also, I believe I will need manufacturer drivers for my phone to operate the peripherals. How do I download this? This might be a stretch but can't I get those files from the Mate 7?

From the article linked below:

Wildlife officials are investigating why panthers and bobcats in three Florida counties are walking abnormally and having extreme difficulty controlling their back legs.
***
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) said Monday that the agency has confirmed neurological damage in one panther and one bobcat, while video footage captured in Collier, Lee and Sarasota counties show eight panthers and one bobcat demonstrating varying degrees of the leg condition.

Accessories Charging this beast (Note 10+)

https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/m...t-charging-wall-charger-white-ep-ta845xwegus/. You’ll need Sammys own charger (for now—3rd party chargers will crop up also) and a compatible cable that has an e-marker chip on both ends and compatible with the Power Delivery Rev. 3.0 PPS (NOT PDO).

Some light reading on the subject:

https://lifehacker.com/wait-to-buy-a-galaxy-note-10-adapter-for-super-fast-45-1837237358

Ive got a couple of these cables that I feel are ready for the fast charge speed. Its just a matter of the charger. Ive got the charger on order from Sammy which will take a couple weeks...

Be advised the standard Note 10 will only recognize charging up to 25Watts.

How to undo the Verizon Installation.

So I bought a used Samsung Galaxy S9+ (Model: SM-G965U) that was factory unlocked for both GSM and CDMA use. It came with Android 8. I wanted to try out Tracfone as the carrier, so I got a SIM card from Tracfone that used Verizon's CDMA network. After configuring the SIM card and rebooting my phone, the phone started installing Verizon software, and apps, and now behaves like a Verizon phone. I now switched over to Mint Mobile, which I believe uses the T-Mobile network, but it still shows Verizon when the phone boots, and I can't get rid of that or the Verizon apps. The "Service provider SW ver." also still shows "VZW/XAA/SPR", so I'm wondering how to get rid of the "Verizonness" of the phone and get it back to normal. What I really want to do is allow the phone to be updated to Android 9.0. Is there any way to do this?

Rubbish Keyboard on Z3

My new Z3 has the smallest keyboard ever. No idea what model. It has a large column on the right with lots of arrows that are surplus to requirements. The letters are so close together by it's almost unuseable. To crown it all, when I have got a page correct and I click save or send, the text changes by itself and I send a rubbish message. I have turned off autofill but makes no difference. Sam in any app Any solutions?

So can anyone tell me "Step by step process of how to create a Google play store profile? Similar to Adda247 & Edurev"?
When you visit their apps in play store you can see there's a new profile page when we click on there Brand name.

Just curious to know, did they do that process by themselves or Play Store did that on their behalf??

What countries have you visited ?

I was born in Texas, USA and the first country I visited was Mexico with my parents when I was maybe 8 years old. Then I enlisted in the Navy and got stationed in Agana, Guam aboard the USS Proteus AS-19 (submarine tender). Then I got to see the Philippines, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Japan, Hong Kong and South Korea. Would have loved to have visited Europe.

I can't delete photos

Hi. I need to delete some photos from my 16gb Galaxy Tab A (version 8.1). Instructions say to select the ones I want to remove, click the three dots in the upper right corner and select "Delete from Device". However, when I click the three dots, the only option I get is "Move to Archive". Am I doing something wrong?

Force 4x MSAA permanently build prop tweak (Finally Cracked the code)!

So aso today i figured out the CORRECT build prop line to enable Force 4x MSAA.

I have tried many kinds of lines but nothing worked and been trying since 2016 it's August 20, 2019 and finally got it working so here is the line you need to add to your build prop feel free to use it in your ROMs I also found a few other lines that works so I'll include them as well!

#Render hwui in opengl, you can use opengl witch is by on by default but skiagl works better
debug.hwui.renderer=skiagl

# Force 4x MSAA default is 0 (0=off, 1=on)
debug.egl.force_msaa=1

#Buffs graphical data before utilizing it, does make rendering faster
debug.egl.buffcount=4
