A friend messaged me this morning with a problem on her phone. She's trying to remove a plugin called BeiTa Plugin and thinks it may be malware, but she hasn't been able to remove it with any malware removers from the Playstore. She says it's a virus or trojan, but I can't find much, if any, info on this online.
Any suggestions on how to remove or identify this?

Tell your friend to hit the left button to show all active apps. Look for the Beita plug in and pay attention to the picture. It will have a picture of an app, delete that app and you will be good. It happened to me.

Mine was in an app called SmartScan, a QR scanner app. Each time the plugin hit, I would have 2 open app reminders on my S8, one showing Beita Plugin and the other showing as SmartScan. I deleted SmartScan and it stopped. Interesting though, I had downloaded SmartScan about a year ago but had never used it until the other day so this can be caused by using an app (recently) that you have never used before, not just from a new download.

Mine seems to have embedded itself in all my TouchPal keyboard themes. I delete one and another one pops up.

This issue recently started on my Note 8. I deleted SmartRadio, but the annoying ads keep popping up all the time.

I deleted a bunch of news apps and keyboard and font apps, but ads still popup constantly .... disrupting everything ... !!!

OMG. I searched through my apps and didn't find anything called "BeiTa Plugin" or "Smart Scan", so I just started uninstalling the latest apps that I downloaded. Long story short, it was the Dora Period Tracker. The BeiTa Plugin was in THAT. Once I deleted it, it completely fixed it - no more ads!

So, go through your phone and start deleting the most recent apps that you downloaded. It can easily be hidden in any of them!

I think I got rid of this pesky plugin. I went into my apps and force stopped and uninstalled my Google games, my Google movies and TV, and Google music, and it seems to have gotten rid of it. Don't know which one it was. I had even bought a new phone (LG Phoenix 4), and it was nearly unusable right out the box. So far, the new phone is ad free, and my old phone is now back working properly as I performed the same tasks on it.

I think I found the nasty bugger ..... I can't remember what the app was though. I also did a Factory Reset, and have added only minimal apps. No more annoying random popup ads.
