Help What is superboost_289.001.007.apk?

[Jim Gibson]

This 'apk' keeps downloading onto my phone. It doesn't get caught by my anti-virus. The phone operates on Android 5.1. Is superboost a legitimate Android download file or is it a Trojan/virus? If none if these, is it harmful?

I'm not a tech-savvy person. So, I'd welcome simple non-tech answers/explanations/solutions (if it's a problem).

Thanks.

No idea what Superboost is, and Google, Bing or Baidu doesn't show anything conclusive.

What phone have you actually got there, make, model, carrier, etc, like is it a Chinese one?

Did you happen to click on an advertisement (at around the time that you started seeing this)?
