EDIT: Now it has started ahowing up on system app list . Am i fucked ? Now i have to wipe down right ?

Today when i opened the tab of psa my firewall (rethink) pinged as i have set it to automatically block internet acess of newly installed apps and ask me to decide if i should allow them internet access. The thing is i can’t find them on my phones applist even if i enable system apps to delete it . Rethink shows it in installed catalog and i am pretty sure this is an installed app as i have gone through my system apps several times and just look at it it only tries to connect to that site and is made to pass as a system app . What should i do ? Should i wipe down my phone ? Also /c/ piracy should stop reccomending that shithole site honestly.

PS : Sorry if i’m on the wrong community you can point me in the right direction.

    Honestly IMO if you have even an inkling that you’ve been got by a virus, nuking from orbit is the only solution.

        Satire would be telling you that you’ll surely get every trace of the virus off your phone and there’s no possibility that you’ll be left with a root kit that can hide itself from the app listing.
