    • only help you need is to delete the software if it is not the original Samsung with the knox file on it,
      if you do not own a Samsung anymore you should delete it to clearly, if you are a prick with it on your computer because you’re stealing people’s SIM cards and copying them or plugging their devices into your modem then you should have your raspberry or pineapple or let’s just say remote device that’s used for reconnaissance for military to track a terrorist but if your roommate is sleeping and you plug his phone into your computer you’re a thief, I would really like my information deleted or I will literally give you a magnet for Christmas happy Hanukkah douche lips
