Help Tablet problems

Hi everyone, I hope I can get some help with some problems I am having. Firstly, I have recently found that my tablet is rooted, im sort of aware of what this is. Ive spent 3 days trying to sort the issues I have but I getting confused ! One of the problems im having is AVG coming up with malware called com.lurker.goodluck This is listed in my apps menu, under ALL. It has the green android icon next to it.

AVG says it cant remove it as it is pre-installed ? I tried using Avast, same problem. I have now tried Avira, which finds others but not com.lurker.goodluck, which causes my tablet to freeze when it pops up on screen, which happens often.

Another problem im having is my home page wont stay on Google, I get www.1buy.com which has recently changed from another one ( I cant remember what that one was ) I set my home page as Google, within 20 mins it resets itself back.

I have done more than 1 factory reset, the problems are still there.

Id be so grateful for any help with this as im about to lose the plot with this !!

Thank you
:-)

Hi! I have bought a QBEX Tablet TX126 (very similar to Allwinner A23), and comes with a lot of malware and adware apps pre-installed in this tablet that popup a lot of advertisements.
To solve the problem:
1) ROOT your device
2) Install "System app remover (ROOT)" (search in google play)
3) Remove all unwanted or strange pre-installed apps. In my tablet some malwares come with names like "search", "com.google.com.settings" (looks like a google application, but it isn't), "DU SpeedBooster". I removed them all.
4) If you try to uninstall "com.lurker.gooluck" or "com.google.weather" (another suspect app) is useless, it will appear again. The only way to stop this app to show advertisements in my screen was installing "Link2SD" (I'm using the paid version), and then use the option to "Freeze" these apps. The malware is now freezed and can't popup advertisements anymore. You can also freeze apps using ADB.
I hope this helps. :thumbsupdroid:
