I've had exactly the same thing but I use an honor magic lite 5. I've just paid for Norton 360 antivirus and ran a scan but can't seem to detect anything... Hoping this is just a weird glitch - maybe our phones downloaded updates in the middle of the night (8am where I am now) but will wait and see if it goes away... Hoping Google will reply to this thread as we're not the only ones a few people are having the same problem today...

I have uninstalled updates to be safe however I'm wondering if this is a result of the Huawei and Google "feud" thing between the US and China. Wouldn't surprise me since the notification is coming through the optimizer that Huawei has built-in.

I tried to factory reset my Huawei nova 5t. And the trojan still not remove. How to fix this?

This is either a bug or a new vulnerability which is just being exploited.

Hola tengo el mismo problema, lo que hice fue desactivar los permisos SMS de Chrome, ya que al parecer ese trojan está relacionado a el envío de SMS(texto)

Here is solution: https://support.google.com/android/thread/241207833?hl=en&msgid=241244032

- it worked for me without restart even. Just clered the cache & data of the Optimizer app, then updated virus definitions and the app, and now - everything is OK.

Thanks to the guy/girl made it first!

Huawei optimiser app will get rid of it. Then go to playstore and disable auto update on Google.
