Millions of generic Android boxes ("TV boxes") ship with malware already installed before they reach the user. AMK detects and removes it in minutes, no technical knowledge required.
Works on any Android device, not just TV boxes. Scanning is free — you only pay if you decide to clean.
BADBOX is a malware family that low-cost manufacturers install directly into the firmware of Android TV boxes before selling them. You don't have to do anything wrong — the device arrives infected from the factory.
Turns your home internet into a "residential proxy": other criminals use it to hide their tracks while committing fraud, without you noticing.

It scans the device's actual system, compares it against a threat catalog verified through field research, and applies the correct removal method for each brand and model.
AMK checks every installed app and compares it against a threat catalog built from real field research, at no cost.
We tell you how many threats we found. If your device is clean, you pay nothing. If there's something, you decide whether to clean it.
It applies the correct method for your specific brand and model, and confirms when it's done. No technical steps on your end.
Scanning is always free. You're only charged when you decide to clean a device with confirmed threats — if the scan finds nothing, you pay nothing.
$10,000 ARS (Argentine pesos) covers the complete, permanent cleanup of one device (1 credit = 1 device, forever). You pay by QR via MercadoPago, no saved card or subscription required.
You can re-scan the same device anytime at no cost: AMK's threat database grows every day, so a device that's clean today may be worth checking again later.
Outside Argentina? MercadoPago's QR payment only works with Argentine accounts. Reach out through the contact form and tell us your situation — we'll coordinate how you can get your cleanup credits.
With a technician/reseller account you clean your customers' devices without going through the single-use flow — one login, one shared credit pool for every device you service.
Outside Argentina and just want to clean your own device? Use this same form to tell us your case — you don't need to be a technician or reseller.
No. You tap one button to scan and, if cleanup is needed, another button to clean. AMK automatically decides how to do it based on your device.
AMK automatically recognizes the correct method for many brands and models, and that catalog keeps growing with every device scanned.
Yes. It's your device. AMK only acts on apps identified as confirmed threats, never on apps you installed yourself.
We tell you for free, no charge at all. The initial scan is never paid.
Because the malware is installed at the factory as part of the firmware, before the device reaches any store or point of sale.
No. AMK works on Android devices in general, not just TV boxes. The problem of factory-preinstalled malware is especially well documented on generic TV boxes (which is why we cite them as a case study), but AMK's scanning and cleanup aren't limited to that type of device.
We can't guarantee 100% — no antivirus can. AMK's known-threat database grows every day with every device scanned. If your device shows no threats today, you pay nothing, and you can re-scan it anytime at no cost in case something new turns up in the future.
Yes. The app works the same in any country, but MercadoPago's QR payment only works with Argentine accounts and prices are listed in Argentine pesos (ARS). If you're outside Argentina, reach out through the contact form to coordinate how to get your cleanup credits.
