How to remove Android based 'com.android.patch' virus?

First of all, let me clear up something.

• 'com.android.patch' is NOT actually a virus. 
• In the original un-tampered form, it is an SSL patch created by the makers of android (GOOGLE inc.) to actually increase your internet browsing security.
• So, its actually a GOOD thing

BUT, 

• There exists a malicious version of this security patch.
•  This version is created by hackers and they infect in your system when you install apps from a 3rd party source
  {Which means, when you install apps directly from the SD card or any other service which is NOT Google Play}
  
  ps. I got mine when I installed apps from mobogenie.

Here is an example of how that virus can affect you:

 

Solution to this: 

Before I discuss the solution to this problem, let me tell you how that happens and why that happens.

How does someone get infected?

• You get infected when you install apps from Unknown sources, app that someone gave you over Bluetooth, some apps that you downloaded from some 3rd party website (Google Play is official; everything else is 3rd party.)
• This virus has the same name as the official patch ('com.android.patch'), hence android security mechanisms may not recognize it if you enable 'Allow install from unknown apps'
• After installing, this app acts like an official app and requests user to give it administrative permission
• If you happen to absent mindedly give it permission to become device administrator, it can do nasty things like: Downloading apps without permission, crashing opened apps, populating RAM and SD etc.

Why does it operate? What is the purpose of this virus??

• This code is generally harmless as long as it is not a device administrator.
• But once you make it an administrator, it will basically own the device. You wont be able to remove it from the list of device administrators, it will force close 'settings' app whenever you try.
• Theoretically, it can copy, manipulate, upload and abuse every bit of sensitive information on your phone such as: Login info, personal photos, bank details, contacts etc.
• It operates to download loads of useless apps and makes profit by advertising those apps.

Big Question: How to REMOVE this virus?

How to remove Facebook Virus? : Complete Step by Step Tutorial

First of all, sorry guys, I haven't been posting much as of late because of my hectic semester schedule.

Anyways, I've made this post just to give everyone reading this a quick warning about the new facebook virus. Its not exactly a virus(strictly speaking), but its actually a form of malicious code that comes bundled up with some facebook apps, and it posts and tags weird stuff under your name without your consent. (You can see screenshots of facebook profile of victims in the images at the end of this post)

So without further ado, let me provide you a method to remove this thing:

• 
  
  
  
  
  
• STEP1: CLEAR APPS: This code propagates through facebook apps primarily. If you have recently used or installed any new facebook apps. Consider clearing it. {I suggest clearing everything untrusted from the get-go though}
• Facebook apps are things like : Farmville, Candy Crush on Facebook, Draw my Thing, etc which sometimes asks you permission to do certain things on your account.
  
  
  
• To Get There: To get to the page with the list of all the apps you've permitted, CLICK HERE {Recommended to do this with a computer or Google Chrome browser in Android Phones|| Comment if problem persists with mobile}
• STEP2: Hover above the app you want to clear. You can see two options ,EDIT and DELETE. I suggest deleting all suspicious apps. You can always install them later if you need.
  
  
  
  
• STEP3:  Once your app list is mostly cleared of 3rd party untrusted apps, observe your wall. If there are any more automatic posting, you should consider following STEP4 too.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• IMPORTANT NOTE: Please DO NOT FORGET to check mark "Delete all your app activity on facebook" before clicking remove.
  
  
• STEP4: Clear recently added plugins. Plugins such as Adblock Plus, IDM etc are okay (as they are trusted apps by real vendors). But please find and remove apps from untrusted sources.
  
  How to get there?
  
  For Firefox: Type about:addons on your address bar
  
  
  
  
  For Chrome: Type chrome:extensions on your address bar
  
  
  

  NEW UPDATE: These viruses are changing day by day. If your chrome or firefox DOES NOT allow viewing or changing addons/extensions; simply reinstall chrome/firefox. Please comment if problems persist.

  
  
  
• My friend Apil got his virus removed this way:
  
  
  
  Thanks for the awesome tip Apil! (^_^)
• STEP5: MANUAL LABOUR: Unfortunately, facebook does not provide any feature to remove all the things you post with a click of a button. You need to manually remove each and every post that the virus has made. Becareful on clicking the link of those posts though. Thats how they propagate. STEP5 will protect yourself and your friends from getting this virus accidentally.
• FINAL STEP: After you have followed through all of the STEPS above, its a very good idea to change your password. Even though you've removed the propagation of the code itself, your password just might have been compromised somewhere along the way. So just to on the safe side, change it.
  
  
  
• That's it. Have a good day!
  
  
  
• Also, Do you have some alternate method to remove this virus? We would love to hear from you!! (^_^)
