Removing Ghost Push Virus isn't easy. Why?
Because most known anti-virus cannot remove it. I usually use Avast or Malwarebytes which is a very good anti-virus application but they turned out to be no good when dealing with Ghost Push Virus. Even doing a hard reset cannot eliminate this virus because it has injected itself as a system application.
 

In removing Ghost Push Virus, you can try two things:

  1. Flash your Android Device with its stock firmware.
  2. Using CM security application with Stubborn Ghost Push Killer application.

Removing virus using CM security and Stubborn Ghost Push Killer Application.

  • Perform a hard reset on your device by entering recovery mode and wiping all data on your phone.
  • After reboot, go to settings -> Security. And make sure that you unchecked the - Allow Installation from Unknown Resources.
  • Add a Google account and download and install from Google Play Store - CM Security and Stubborn Ghost Push Killer application.
  • If you're having a hard time downloading and installing because of non-stop pop-up ads or there's an error in installing, disconnect from your device from Internet connection. Then manually download the application .apk file on your pc.
