The computer virus is challenging to identify, and even more challenging to eliminate. The harmful value piggybacks on a background app found in GFan, China's biggest Android operating system industry. The computer virus sets up itself on a system after its individual has downloadable and set up the app, making recognition challenging. As a result, the background app is not flagged as harmful in the market. Further, the computer virus can change the quantity and moment of unexpected charges; that way most times customers don't know that they have been compromised.

The writing shows that the background app in which the viruses has been disguised gets the users' attention with attention seeking headings and pictures. Once a individual sets one of the picture as the lamps background, the app further requests the individual to set up more information associated with the computer virus.

This way, customers find themselves incapable to remove or turn off the app.
