In the case of smartphones, to date we have not seen malware that replicate itself like a PC virus can, and specifically on Android this does not exist because it is an open source based on linux, so technically there are no Android viruses. Most people think of any malicious software as a virus, even though it is technically inaccurate.

So specifically android has malware and no virus and for that each company releases security update with all the latest malware definition for detection of it.
You can use samsung inbuilt device care scan for this or if you want you can download quickheal or avast or any other options on playstore.

If you want to permanently remove it then you have to factory reset your device.
