I downloaded an apk from this site that it was supposed to be a modified app for a game (Candy Crush Saga). Here you can find the download link .
The problem is that not only the app doesn't do what it was claimed to do (i.e. provide you with tricks, unlimited lives, etc) but most importantly it is a malware-virus.
So after installing this app, I get pop up windows with ads.
First of all I removed the apk and tried to search for the installed app through settings. Surprisingly I couldn't find anything apart from the apps I have installed through PlayStore!
Then I installed
Clean Master
and AVG Antivirus
but neither managed to find any problem.
I also tried using DEBLOATER
(I installed it through wine on my fedora 25 laptop) but this didn't work either.
I also connected my phone to my laptop and tried to find and delete the bloatware but I wasn't able to find it.
So my question is how can I remove this "app" when it's not visible in the app list?
For reference I am running Android 6.0 and my phone is Oukitel k6000pro and my PC runs fedora 25.
