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.
