Cannot remove malware

Solved

Hi

An application we were asked to make available appears to have been hacked and malware has been loaded into com.android.backupconfirm.  MobiControl has flagged it but it cannot uninstalled or quarantined.  The offending app (OneFile) has been removed.  

Device is a Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 2.

The device has been hard rebooted, both via MobiControl command and a physical reset of the device and in both instances the malware is still embedded in com.android.backupconfirm.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Can I just add, the support provided in that call went above and beyond.  Nitesh (I think) was not going to let it go until we found a solution.
