Beware of "Your Android Has Been Infected With A Virus" Fake Messages

Posted: Oct 14, 2018 at 11:03 AM by an anonymous user from or near: London, England, United Kingdom

Shame, my phone does not have a 'privacy' or 'clear your private Data' or clear your 'browsing data'or 'browser history' nor is there access to an application manager.

Could virus have disabled these options? tried re-set phone to factory settings. Have lost photos, texts, telephone contacts but still have virus!HELP!

Why did the virus/scam appear when trying to log into Amazon.com on my wife's computer? What initiated the message, me having a credit card issue with Amazon and not being able to log in or was my wife's computer infected? Very important for our marriage. Thank you.

I received the notification yesterday, but have not visited a p*rn site since June, 2017. Can you please confirm for my wife that I can receive this scam without having gone to a p*rn site?

She thinks I am doing again after I tiled her I had stopped. I also have K9 protection software installed. Will save our marriage. Thank you!

I had a message this morning n my android with very similar message to above. It said:

"Moto G5 is infected and immediate action is required!

Do not close this window!
**Exit at your own risk**"

as it happened my battery was very low, so could not do anything much on it. I switched it off and left on charge.

Unlike the above it did not invite me to follow any instructions to fix it. ( Unless I missed something).

I thought straight away this is some sort of scam, because I use Kaspersky protection on it, the Premium version. I wanted to take a screen shot before I turned it off, but the method to do so I find fiddly and could not make it work, or I would send a screen shot to kaspersky.

I did a quick scan and a full scan, and it said my phone was protected. Naturally I wondered could it have missed something? Hence I am looking for information now from my PC.

Hi,

I have just got a virus pop up message on my HuaweI Honor 9, (looks the same as the one someone mentioned above)

It told me that 28% of my hard drive and SIM card were infected by four (4) viruses from adult sites I'd visited. I have never gone to an adult website, so I'm assuming it was fake, but it was very scary and looked real.

The pop up told me to install APP from Google Play Store immediately and not to close my browser. I did not touch the "ok" in the bottom right of the white box om my screen.

I'm assuming it's fake but can't find anything online to confirm this. Also I haven't installed McAfee on the phone yet so can't scan the phone. I'm not sure how to get rid of it, any suggestions ? Thanks

I got a fake virus pop up that looked exactly like the standard Samsung Note 8 pop up windows that are real.

It told me that 28% of my hard drive and SIM card were infected by four (4) viruses from adult sites I'd visited. I have never gone to an adult website, so I'm assuming it was fake. I have antivirus protection on my phone, but it was very scary and looked real.

The pop up told me to install APP from Google Play Store immediately and not to close my browser. I did not touch the "ok" in the bottom right of the white box om my screen & just closed all windows.

I ran McAfee and nothing showed up. I did find a suspect file when I ran an app for trojan viruses. So heads up, the hackers are making these look exactly like the real Samsung windows that prompt you to press "ok".

While browsing with Internet Explorer for this weekend's performances I received an alert as a web page from Google (with large logo!) on my Android phone. A secondary pop-up type window opened to say there were thirteen viruses on my phone and my SIM card would be compromised within minutes if I did not download an app to remove them. I immediately closed the browser. I went back and closed out all the page tabs and closed it again.

I've never know the web to self-monitor that way, so it seemed to be a scam, but visually it causes an emotional reaction to the suggestion that you have been attacked.

I have had a supposed message from Google saying I have a virus on this phone and also one on my other mobile which said my battery was infected .

It was directing me to press a button and intimating it would be sorted. I was contacted by someone on Facebook who wanted to be friends and ad I was looking at sites with dog stories etc. I thought that was why I was contacted ad I posted comments.

However this was supposed to be US Army General called Campbell Phillips .His profile page was of a white poodle on one photo,an army dog on another and red toy teddybear on the other.I thought it didn't look right so checked army site and scammers site.It was as I thought a scam,so I was wondering if the reason I got messages on both phones was because of this.I use the same email on both phones.

Hello,

I was browsing the internet on my android phone and a suddenly there was a pop-up similar to the "Your Android has (5) viruses" alert. My phone started making this weird beeping noise and it really freaked me out. I was taken to the Google Play Store and this app looked like Avira Anti-virus. I read the reviews and most were stating that the app seemed to be a real nuisance. And I did a little more research and was surprised to find that Avira is a pretty reputable company. I'm pretty sure that the pop-up was fake, but it looked really legit and what about the beeping noise?

I just received this pop-up scam when browsing on Chrome. It had me going for a few seconds. Glad to have found this site and helpful advice from others! Thank you.

Here is the pop-up scam:
"us.genome-apps.xyz says:

"Your system is heavily damaged by Four virus!

"We detect that your Motorola Moto G (2nd Gen) is 28.1% DAMAGED because of four harmful viruses from recent adult sites. Soon it will damage your phone's SIM card and will corrupt your contacts, photos, data, applications, etc.

"If you do not remove the virus right now , it will cause severe damage to your phone . Here's what you NEED to do (step by step) :

"Step 1: Tap the button and install Applock for free on Google Play!

"Step 2: Open the app to speed up and fix your browser now!...

"Don't close this window.

"** If you leave , you will be at risk **"

My fiancé followed the instructions and downloaded GOSecurity onto his phone. Now it tells him that if he removes it his phone will freeze and be unusable. Is this true? How does he fix this problem?

I was alarmed and by a high shrilling sound I thought it was my smoke detector.to my amazement was my Samsung galaxy all with a warning notice something like Warning! Your Samsung galaxy Sll has been severely damaged by (6) viruses. Press OK and this was Google play telling me I'd looked at adult material O.M.G. what next. I ignored it and googled in my tablet for answers telling me that this was a scam. I HATE THESE PEOPLE. Just checked and I gave no viruses.

Okay, so I keep getting these stupid spam messages from multiple sites that will suddenly pop up no matter what I'm doing. I've downloaded anti-virus ware and scanned my device multiple times and it keeps saying my phone is all clear, I've deleted recently installed apps and it still persists so I don't know what else to do.

Hi, I had the same problem today. I got a message saying I was infected with a virus because I was browsing adult content. I'm worried because I clicked okay and it took me to another window where I was supposed to download an app for security. I signed in my google account and tried to download it. It didn't work, there was a message saying that there was no phone to connect my account to. I was wondering if this is bad ? I didn't download anything, but maybe because I tried, some hackers could have hacked my iphone or something ? Thanks

If you see an advertisement or some message while browsing the internet on your mobile device or using an app, claiming that a number of viruses have been detected on your mobile phone, please ignore.

Only your antivirus or anti-malware software can determine if your device is infected with a virus.

You may see the following fake messages:
a.(236) virus your phone? Remove them now !!!
b.32 virus detected

The "WARNING! Your personal photos, Facebook and other personal passwords, as well as credit card information are at risk!

Your Samsung Android has been exposed to a fatal Trojan virus while browsing recent adult-oriented websites" popped up on my tablet while I was playing LineUp Pro.

I think I must have clicked on something I should not have, because then my LastPass password manager browser opened with three or four different tabs with website addresses in them.

I panicked and shut down LastPass and powered down the tablet. When I opened it again, I started running virus scanners like Avast, MobileCare, Norton and AVG, (all free versions).

They all said that no malware was found. Should I be concerned that the LastPass Browser opened?

Could I have gotten a Trojan or virus? The tablet seems to be working as normal, but that doesn't really give me much peace of mind.

Thanks in advance.

One of these spams popped up...on my iPhone 5. I was reading an article on Facebook when all of a sudden a thing popped up that read around the lines of "your android has a virus and you will be loosing all of your data if ignored". (Notice how I spelt loosing wrong because that's how they spelt it in the spam). Anyway, I just quickly clicked cancel (cause I knew it was a spam, after all I don't own an android). It makes me wonder though because I've never had any sort of spam like that come up on my phone before. Maybe I'll get some sort of anti-spam software.

Is my Samsung now infected?
