Why does my Samsung Galaxy S3 freeze for 7 seconds with a count down timer when I try to make a call?

Syed Amin asks:

I have Samsung Galaxy S3. Since over a month after every outgoing call I make, the phone freezes for 7 seconds with a count down timer in the bottom. It says free application download by then 7 seconds then 6 second and goes on till 0 seconds then unfreeze the screen. I am upset with this because some time in emergency you can not make call. Please help.

It says “Free Application Download”? Sounds like malware.

It’s look like your smart phone is being infected. Can you do a hard reset of your phone? That would be a radical solution. Just make sure you have your contact and other personnal info on a back up because doing this will restore your device to its factory state. Good luck
