Ordered Lenovo K3 Note phone from China and came with lots of bloatware / adware installed such as "KKBrowser" and similar stuff the Antivirus tells me it's malware but the phone doesn't let me uninstall it.

Now I have 2 options I guess?

1) root it and delete those apps... but I've read online many people are unable to completely delete the malware as some system files cannot be removed basically the Android is a bit compromised... they can remove most of it though

2) install a new ROM... such as this http://www.needrom.com/download/androium-6-k3n/ which is intended for this specific phone... I read on Reddit that some people have problems watching embedded videos in Chrome with this ROM though

---

What is the better thing to do? Help /g/

You could have avoided this with a quick google search, anon. Shoulda just got one of the stock Android ones, this is a nice phone but riddled with AIDS from the get go.

I know I made a mistake. But what should I do now, throw it in the garbage bin? I have to fix it somehow.

sell it on ebay? or just flash one of the ROMs even if it fugs up chrome, can't be that bad.

I bought a Lenovo phone for $100 in Malaysia.
It was a Chinese import that came preloaded with Chinese camgirl apps and adware.

You should get an iPhone... That's probably more your level.

why would you buy a k3 note without wanting to flash the rom off the bat?

Would flashing a new ROM really help ? I mean there is still the firmware which most likely contains some kind of superfishshit.
