Kaspersky a researcher Igor Golovin has given details about the xHelper malware. He said that all those who have got this malware in their phone does not have any way to remove it, even if you restore your device to factory settings you cannot delete it.Golovin explained how this Malware works, 

“The malware disguises itself as a popular cleaner and speed-up app for smartphones, but in reality there is nothing useful about it: after installation, the “cleaner” simply disappears and is nowhere to be seen either on the main screen or in the program menu. You can see it only by inspecting the list of installed apps in the system settings,”

He also added,

“Malicious files are stored sequentially in the app’s data folder, which other programs do not have access to. This matryoshka-style scheme allows the malware authors to obscure the trail and use malicious modules that are known to security solutions.”

This Malware arrives on the phone when you download the apps from unofficial sites. Golovin says, “In any event, using a smartphone infected with xHelper is extremely dangerous.”
