Using an antivirus software is never the most effective way to keep your device secure. Many of the applications come with a backdoor which the developer or the hackers may use to gain access to your device, push some malicious content, promoted apps or adware to your device. They may also access your personal contents.
While this not only happens with third-party apps but with official apps or system apps as well. Xiaomi phone users are very aware of this. Xiaomi's MIUI system apps are famous for downloading and installing sponsored contents such as adware, apps, app suggestions and annoying notifications. For example, it makes no sense for a File Explorer app to make an internet connection on MI phone.
Has your MI phone become bloated with ads recently? Do you think it's annoying? You are not alone.
After the MIUI 8 global ROM update, we have seen ads getting displayed on MI apps such as File Manager, Music, MI Apps Store, etc. The company says this is because they want to make some money which goes to the hardworking developers. But we haven't got the phone for free per se, we have already paid for it. While it's always ok to make some more money but not at the expense of user experience. Getting popup ads all the time is very annoying and there seems to be no option for turning them off. Also, the MIUI Apps manager shows app suggestions (promoted apps) in the notification bar. Clearing the notification bar takes a second but someone like I want his/her phone to be clutter-free, to begin with. If you are someone like me then sit tight and continue reading for the solutions.
