Non-removable virus

A week ago my Mc Afee Mobile Security app found a virus that it's class "non-removable file". I did a reset to my android phone, but a week later app found same threat again. Threat name is Artemis!3b0f8f9c6163, which is a Trojan. App is saying that it is in "High threat risk". It's pathname is /preload/vendor/app/com.gamestore.apk. It created in 4 April 1970. Virus can almost do anything on my phone including observe my activities, damage or encrypte files for ransom, ect. Can you help me for deleting this virus?

Open Mc Afee Security Mobile app, on the top there is a writing that "Mc Afee Internet Security". Tap this 10 times. Then scanning will start.

I am using sd card too but what makes you think that way?
