In the last few hours, many forums and media outlets have reported a malware infecting the system. Quite a lot of Xiaomi phones with MIUI operating system only because other Android devices with Google Chrome browser installed do not have this issue.

Fortunately, It doesn’t look like a virus that directly affects the terminal’s operation since it mainly focuses on the homepage changing when we open Google Chrome, but it is still important that we eliminate this over time to avoid potential security issues or even performance issues of the terminal itself.

If you are suffering from this problem, luckily there is an easy solution.

As we told you, this malware only focuses on changing the Google Chrome homepage when we open the app. In this situation, the default web becomes a web called “Mintnav” and although it does not directly affect the operation of the mobile phone, everything seems to indicate that this is a website dedicated to scamming users.

Of course, we recommend that you check if your phone is infected by this malware using the virus scan included in the Security app of your Xiaomi device with MIUI. It will be very easy to check as long as you enter Google Chrome and check if the homepage has been changed.

It is also recommended that you return to the home page that you set up earlier and can do it in a super simple way. by following these steps:

• Enter the Google Chrome application on your Xiaomi mobile and display the menu at the top right and click “Settings”
• Now scroll down and click “Home”
• If you are infected with this malware, change the page you have and create the page you think is appropriate.
