I tried reformatting but those viruses keeps on coming back

Windows Phone. No viruses anywhere! No anti-virus required

Judge a product on its own merits AND the company that made it.

This is the original reason I got adblock, and until ads become less of a threat it won't go away.

 

Can you reset the android os and store your contacts and wanted data else where? (don't have a smart phone so don't know)

If the virus/crapware is too heavily entrenched, you might need to flash the ROM to reset and fully remove the bad stuff (essentially wiping the phone and then reinstalling Android)

 

Next time use Adaway and AFWall+

How do I wipe the phone and reinstall android?
