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.
just root it and install a new ROM.
flash CM12.1 on it you faggot

are you retarded?
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?

Hardware embedded malware cannot be deleted, Anon.

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