It was certainly the Huawei System UI. How do I tell which engine they're using?
There must be some clue, ~~but i don't know how to find them without seeing the screen.~~
EDIT: The virus scan thing should be part of the "Optimizer" system app. Open that, tap on "virus scan" and look for something at the bottom of the screen like "Powered by X". Should be Avast anyway.
Yup, is says powered by Avast.
Why don’t you / can’t you patch the phone?
Can you? I wasn't aware of that
