I think i have spyware on my lg stylo 3

Can you screenshot what makes you think you have spyware? Any suspicious looking apps that appeared that you did not install?
 
I reset that one now im on my stylo 2 but the 3 it wouldnt let me research how to get rid of spyware when i would tap on something it would vibrate real hard it was using storage and memory like crazy when i was searching for a solution pop ups covered my whole screen but a half inch across the middle pop ups in my apps that never had popups before and i found a folder in file manager that was never there before that said network connections and i got a warning about a remote connection
 
i have a file in file manager that says android secure and the date on it is 12-31-1969 i cant open it i cant delete it any one know what it is
 
You probably downloaded an app that installs adware on your phone since you had popups.

When you reset, was that a complete factory data reset which wipes your entire phone?
 
Yes you can... Try it and see what happens.

Or at the very least create a brand new account and sign in with that... and DO NOT INSTALL ANYTHING ELSE.
 
But hard reset should delete everthing i even deleted the backups and everything else i could delete but it was still there even deleted memory card if i make new account wont all that still be in internal memory
 
But after you hard reset.. the first thing you said you did was pull back all the stuff from your account.. and then the problem started again.....

If the spyware in the internal on your phone.. it will still be able to do things WITHOUT an account... or at second best with a DIFFERENT ACCOUNT.

but you don't know that yet... you are troubleshooting the device.
 
In the last 2 days these images r everywhere
