The removal of the PayPal virus highly depends on the type you are dealing with. Nonetheless, we will try to provide you with comprehensive instructions below.
First of all, you should uninstall all potentially unwanted/malicious applications from your device. The best thing to do would be to access Safe Mode first to bypass removal restrictions that might have been set by a malicious app. Please check for instructions for that online, as they differ depending on your phone model and OS version.
Once in Safe Mode, perform the following steps:
1. Go to Settings and select Applications/Applications & Notifications.
2. Scroll through the list of the installed apps and get rid of everything that looks suspicious.
If you do not know what a suspicious app is, you should skip this step and rather rely on a powerful security application for your phone - simply perform a full system scan.
You should also check the notifications section on your Google Chrome browser. For that, fo the following:
1. At the top-right corner of the browser, tap on three vertical dots
2. Select Settings and go to Notifications
3. Remove ticks from all websites you don't want to receive notifications from
Clear web browser caches as follows:
1. Go to Applications/Applications & Notifications section again.
2. Tap on Google Chrome.
3. Tap Force Stop.
4. Select Clear data and Clear Cache.
Good luck,
