[Q] Stock ROM with built-in virus?

Hi All,
I've recently bought a H60-L02 terminal. But I'm having some problems, since the antivirus application is detecting a virus in the twitter application which comes preinstalled and cannot be uninstalled.
The app cannot be updated from Play Store, since there is an error about the provider authority already exists....
The exact version which is coming with the phone is:
H60-L02V100R001CHNC00B1116SP02 (with EMUI 2.3)
Has anyone faced this problem? Should I try to root the phone and eliminate the app, or should it be better just to upgrade the ROM to a newer one?

Need "Android System WebView" for KitKat (API 19) as .apk

Hey all,
I've got a Comigo set top box, and it runs Android 4.4.2... Play Store doesn't work anymore but I can still install apps as .apk packages. The caveat is that I have to get versions that don't use API newer than 19. A lot of apps don't work right because apparently there are some things missing or not configured correctly.
The issue at hand is that apps can't show web content inside an app and prompt instead to open in external browser app (Google Chrome for example). Is Android System WebView the component I need? I searched around for an .apk and the lowest version I found was 40. Version 40 uses API 21, but my device supports API only up to 19. I believe the version I need is 36. Could someone point me to a download or post me the .apk file so I could install it on my device?
The build should be for arm architecture.
Thanks a bunch!
PS I don't have any KitKat devices to back it up from, all I have is Jelly Bean and Lollipop, neither will do.
Incorrect. Version 36 is the one found in L Developer Preview which I believe is still API 21 (or 20). While WebView in Android 4.4 is indeed based on Chrome, it only got repackaged as a separate APK with Android 5.0. In other words, there doesn't seem to be a way to install any of the WebView APKs on Android 4.4.
See here for details.
Did you manage to sort this one out?

It is not possible to install an app that requires a higer Android version. If you have Android 5.x.x installing apps with a minimum SDK version for Android 4.x.x there should be no problem. I can't tell why you can't install the app from the info you've given me, but you should change your default install folder to internal SD (in settings). That's at least what fixed the problem for me.

Samsung Live messages updated apk?

Hi!
I recently unrooted and went back to stock s7edge (unrooted) bc of the oreo update and came across this:
https://www.goandroid.co.in/install-galaxy-note-8s-live-drawing-on-other-samsung-devices/82131/
which let me install live messages, which is a very addictive keyboard function from the note8 and note9 models
It installed without a problem, (the app version itself has a few problems like having to clear data to reuse it on messaging apps, or doing it from a search bar then sharing the gif there) and not having the latest options like snowflake writing etc...
I assume it has to do with the app signature or something... i tried going to apkmirror to find the latest versions of both the keyboard and live messages, seeing as it was already installed maybe it would let me update. It didnt work, all i got was an app not installed notification (installed from internal memory and allowed unknown sources thingie just to be sure)
Is there a way to get an updated apk of the latest version to install?
Thank you so much in advance!
Attached patrick drawing to show its functionality hehe
few extra info:
Android ver 8.0
Samsung experience 9.0
Samsung keyboard version 3.0.23.63 (according to apkmirror latest version is 3.2.40.52)
live messages version 1.2.12 (according to apkmirror latest version is 2.1.12)
Phone is stock unrooted
