Hi..
I am currently using Sony Xperia L.The problem is that my phone is creating Web game shortcuts continuously on its own.I have used so many antivirus apps and have scanned my phone many a times.The scan is unable to detect this kind of virus and says that the phone doesn't contain any virus.I have also formatted my phone. But,still this problem persists.
Please,help me to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance.

I don't think its malware, most likely it's a third party app creating this, it could be an antivirus app, taskiller, clean master, battery app, ram app, etc.

Boot on >>> safe mode and check if you encounter the same issue, if you don't then its not a preloaded app but an app that you've downloaded

If that doesn't work and you still encounter the same problem while on safe mode then, does anyone has access to your Gmail? the reason I ask is because they could login to the PlayStore and remotely download apps or in this case, games.

Could you elaborate? what happen while on safe mode?

When I switched to safe mode and changed my Gmail account 's password this thing did not come up.But, when I switched to normal mode and turned on wifi the phone shows "Web game shortcut created" so many times.This happens whenever I go online.
