How someone used Dalvik dreamqltesq to hack me

[Sunshine299]

I am new to this site and not familiar with android devices, so I apologize ahead of time. My S8 is compromised and I have no idea where to start to remove virus. I do have lots of information though. Is there anyone that has the patience to help me or is willing to sign on to my device and help?

Thanks!

It might be better trying to explain why you think your device is compromised?

If you are concerned, the first thing you should probably do is change your google password on another device, then factory reset.

It's much more likely that your Google account has been cracked, guessed or given, than any actual app intrusion.

Agree but before you reset the phone, remove the google account or you might bump up against factory reset protection.

And once you've reset your device, enable two-step verification for your Google account. That way, you'll at least know if someone has your password and is trying to use it.

While your S8 could indeed have been 'hacked' the odds are someone has gained access to one of your online social media services. It may seem like your phone has been compromised in some way, but it is more likely to be one of your online services that you just incidentally use on your phone that will be the issue to look into. Subtle difference but it is important to determine the actual source of the problem in order to fix it.
Please give more details on what kind of problem you're having, more context will result in more relevant suggestions. (trivia note, Android phased out Dalvik around the time KitKat was still current so that itself is unlikely to apply to anything S8-related).
Oh, and inviting anyone to remote access your phone on an open forum like this is not a really good idea. That is an invitation to have your phone get hacked.
