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

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 have been told I have 6 viruses please help

Me.

It only happens on my wife's Blackberry Priv Android when she is on Facebook. Is there a fix? I have the same phone and don't have the issue because I don't use FB.

I'm getting a message that I have 2 virus on my phone and trying to follow the above instruction,but I don't have a privacy setting on my Moto G 4 phone. Now what?

has happened now?

I put in my phone number when asked but didn't finish the full information they wanted.

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.

hxxp://my-sho-p-applicatio-and-2016-group.site says:

"WARNING

Samsung Galaxy S5 minI is infected and immediate action is required!

Continue with instructions to fix Samsung Galaxy 5 mini

Do not close this window!

**Exit at your own risk**"

I sent an email about 10 mins ago explaining I put in on air-plane mode but this still popped up!

I tried the above remedy about putting my phone in air-plane mode but the popup came on immediately telling me I have 2 viruses

I am so grateful I found this site! I was told I had viruses from and adult site, never been to one. It wouldn't let me back out of the browser, I hit back several times, finally closed it. Still scared me, not the first time I had seen this pop-up, but a whole lot harder to get rid of this time.

THANK YOU!!

if you fell for the scam what can you do to rid yourself of any damage

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".

Thank you for this article, very useful and easy to find thanks to the headline which shows on the pop-up. How very smart of you ;)

Thank you for the information.

This was helpful but since the spam directs one to install things from Google Play, like DFNDR and Boost (?)

I have just had a message on my Samsung from a place called hxxp://uk.orionpron.com saying I have 3 mins to install something on my phone or I will everything. is this spam or is it legit?

On my android device these "you-have-virus-on-your-phone-blablabla..." pop-ups always pretend to come from Google.

My phone showed something like the message above and also was vibrating. Thanks so much for the solution. I turned off my phone, restarted, and then put my phone into airplane mode, and then I made these adjustments. Thanks for your help!

Sir same problem but when msg popup; my phone gets long vibration; still I don't switch off phone .. plz tell me solution.

I ran into this it said I had 6 viruses when I was on Facebook the other day. Have you heard of anyone having the pop-up come up on their Facebook page. And your information was very helpful thank you very much. Angela M.

I cannot find privacy setting on my android.

I would like a way to stop this from happening period. People should be able to browse and stream video on the net without bs like this happening.

Thank you. The info was very helpful

Fake and spam app causes mobile blast.

This did the trick and got rid of it. Thank you so much!

Excellent reply for my question..now the doubt cleared..thank you.

I got the message that my phone has corrupted with six virus.

I just met the same case in this month. How can I get rid of those annoying pop ups?P.S. I have tried clearing my browsers but it still appearing.(It both appear on my Samsung defaulted browser and Chrome.

I install both the virus protector and cleaner and uninstalled right away does that mean my information was stolen and what should I do. Please help!

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 received this type of message from us.aechom. pw...066...9#. I had not been to any adult sites on my phone so was immediately suspicious. Got on my desktop and searched for info on this message. Took a while but finally found your website. You are much appreciated.

HI I have this issue. Every time I open chrome on my Samsung tablet this morning I get this. Warning www.brungasm.com then met ions virus and click ok. If I don't I will be locked out. Well I can't get that to go away. I'm ok now on explorer. But as soon as chrome opens it goes quick through a couple other addresses before the bring as one. I think the first is hypermobilewor or something, it was fast. Not sure how to get it to stop as I'm assuming it is fake? Thanks.

A green android icon appears from time to time. It says don't turn off your server error is downloading. But at the top left side red words appears. Some says it could harm all my friends information. What can I do. I am waiting for the GalaxI 8 which is it at the beginning of next monto. What can I do. I am not in the country right now and I am encountering a lot of problems.

What happens when you give your phone number to the fake ad? They asked me to give my phone number cause I had six viruses and I did. Is it wrong? What will happen to my phone?

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.

I received the below message while using internet on my mobile phone.

(2) virus has been detected on your lenovo k50-a40 and battery has been infected and damaged.

Then some instruction were given to fix the problem immediately within 5 minutes.

Please educate me on this matter. Is it a fake message or what.

thank you.

I just received a pop-up saying that my ZTE ZMAXPRO IS INFECTED WITH 4 VIRUSES WHATdo I do PLEASE HELP.

The beeping they use is very annoying. And hard to get off. I keep push my back tab and it takes several times to go away. Once I just shut down to get rid of it cause it wouldn't stop.

I am new with using Samsung tablet galaxy, I do not open email or search

because I don't know too much about this tablet or any tablet. while playing solitary card game an android popped up flashing your phone has a virus kill the virus now and an ok pop up. I turned my tablet off. now what do I do now? need your help. thank you

I experienced this earlier. It was from Javascript, it said that my device has virus but I ignored it but suddenly when I was browsing again the message popped out with my phone beeping like an emergency sound so I got scared and click the OK on the message. Does my phone has the virus now? How will I fix this? Pls reply

When I go to the internet on my Android S7 Active, I get this popup that says I have 39 viruses. how do I get it to stop coming up? it will not let me go to the internet. Thanks for any help you can provide

my Android mobile is automatically installing unknown Android app and my mobile antivirus scan claim those apps as virus tell me what to do.

I was on google chrome and this page randomly popped up saying my phone was infected with a virus. I knew it was fake so I swiped it away but just as I did that, a pop up message (that usually goes with those pages) appeared saying the same thing and I accidentally pressed ok. It didn't redirect me to anything but I was worried it could of done something to my phone. I cleared that days browser cache and did a virus scan (Nothing showed up) . Still worried it could of done something to my phone. What should I do or do I need to do anything?

Thus exact message except LG rebel.

I have this window pop up says the same "infected with multiple virus" There's more but there's where I caught the fake ad (speelling or grammar). Something unusual I noticed was the beeping alarm sound. The name of the "problem solver" is us.zunidkedas12.top. Could the misspelling have been an honest mistake? By the alarm sound it makes me think that it could be authentic, but I have not found any info that us.zunidkedas12.top.

Please help with info on this! This needs fixed fake or real.

On my Android phone while on Twitter today, it said phone had fatal viruses and click OK to continue. I shut off phone to reboot and did not press anything else.

Thank you,

Susan

This popped up on my tablet:

"US.abirdf.top says: Attention!! (6) Virus detected on your phone From one of the last web sites you visited." Believe me I didn't fall for it.

Hi, I got a message about virus and it demands to click "ok". There is no other option. I can't even close this web-site and I don't even browse a lot! Not sure what to do. I've deleted all downloads but haven't detected anything. I think the first time I saw the message I clicked "ok", but not sure. Then I heard a voice that virus is detected so I just quickly switched the mobile phone off. Then restarted but there is the same message in the browser, web www.24sec-notification.com. I haven't got any anti-virus. What shall I do? Thanks

Is it on the Internet or browser where you go to settings?

Instructions say to "Remove all unknown apps, or apps you think maybe causing the popups." Unfortunately I don't know what to keep (required to operate my Galaxy tablet) and other than the obvious apps I know I added (solitaire, pinterest, etc) "Remove all unknown apps, or apps you think maybe causing the popups." Causes me confusion on what I have to have for my tablet to operate correctly. :(

How about including information as to what the goal of the 'criminals' is, like convincing you to buy something so they can get your cc info or whatever it is...?

Received via email:

"I started receiving the messages on my Samsung galaxy 7 phone regarding having several virus's. etc.. I followed the instructions given to clear out the cache messages and browsing history. I also downloaded a couple of the free anti-virus applications. I'm now receiving a message from McAfee site advisor indicating the website that potentially caused the problem www.catchmyapp.net/ google_play/iphone7 message indicated that McAfee tested this site and found files containing viruses. is this correct or is this also a "fake message"? I'm also finding that with every free anti-virus/cleaner app that I've downloaded, every time I come back to my fun it runs through a program indicating how much ram is left etc etc.

I ended up removing some of the apps. it seems that the apps are more of a pain than a help and drain my batter. I charged my phone overnight so it was 100% charged and within 10 minutes it was down to 90%. that is crazy looking for a better solution. do you have one?"

Receive via email:

"I have a pop up that states: your system is heavily damaged by four viruses... we detect that your Samsung galaxy S5 is 28.1% damaged because of four harmful viruses from four adult sites. Soon it will damage your phone SIM card and corrupt your contact, photos, data, application, etc. Then it has a blue bar that says repair fast now. What should I do now?"

Received via email:

"I keep getting a warning on my tablet and now my phone that I have a virus and need to update when I use the back button the google logo comes up on the next age as well repeating the same thing.

it happened since i went into a site called Lightinthebox.

I have a samsung galaxy tab 3 tablet, my friends are getting friend requests and I have not sent them out, does this mean I have been hacked and if so what or how do I fix my account on gmail.

Another thing a skeleton skull keeps comming up on my screen same time every day and stays for like 2 minutes before it goes and I can't click out of anything it freaks me out

Pls help kind regards

Freya.

There's this spam that my tablet will be locked if I dont update within a day, I got scared. Hope it isn't true though.

Hello,

My android tablet just got a message saying, "This device (the unit of my device) has a virus and your browser is completely damaged.

This needs to be clean immediately.

click ok. LDon't leave this page or else you will be blocked."

I clicked ok and now searching if my device has a virus and how to remove it. What should I do? Can you help me please? I'm going nuts right now!

What if u click OK?

The scam says to remove virus by clicking OK...I realize this as a scam but how do I open my web browser and let the page load as suggested above? The scam message covers almost the whole page. Thanks.

I have received messages about a dangerous virus on my phone, but I am using a tablet and I cannot get rid of these messages unless I switch my tablet off, how else can I deal with this?

I am getting the message that your sony mobile has 6 viruses for remove it we need total information like your id, personal details etc.. for that click ok.. it occures on google chrome browser when I go back then start google chrome it is as it is..what I do for it..

Hi, my phone is a HuaweI Ascend 330. I have tried to remove this pop up fake message on my phone about getting 7 viruses and I am unable. Pls help.

I got a message on my samsung 6 active from us.wn98vr9l.pw that says my phone is damaged from adult web sites but I do not do adult websites.

What if my phone repeatedly vibrates as the message appears.

If it shows that it is from Google , is it true?

9xmovies .com and djmaza .cool are showing such ads.

Thank you I will recommend this site.

I was able to reset Chrome to factory settings - that flushed the bastard out. Sorry I was trying many things and didn't document which menu options I used.

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?

On my Kindle Fire:

"www.turism.xyz says:

warning your phone has (3) virus!

the virus may corrupt your data.

Click ok"

I shut off my wifi, was able to get rid of the pop-up (what was supposed to be a picture of Lucie Blackman/ JojI Obara), deleted my cookies and cache, restarted my kindle... Hopefully I won't have any further problems.

How do I get rid of this message?

"Your system is heavily damaged by Four virus!

We detect that your Samsung Galaxy Note 4 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."

The permissions asked from the Google virus app sounds illegal. Asking to access text messages and send text messages and asking to video you anytime and a whole lot more invasive things. Also they can edit your browsing history, read the permissions for yourself!

I did download the app; it directed me to, then I removed that app. What else can I do. Did my downloading of that app open my phone to being hacked? What should I do now.

This site was very useful! I just wanted to say thank you!

Sincerely,

Ashley R.

It is happening every few minutes. How to make it stop.

How do I get rid of the spam message?

Good day,

I think it would be beneficial for all to know the list of bad things the malware can do if accidentally installed.

Plz kindly tell us.. Thanks

Good Morning,

I received the virus ad 3 times in an hour. All I did was close it and carry on. Is that enough?

Is there a way the virus can come into my phone just because of the virus ad?

Im not tech savvy,your help is appreciated. Thanks

I have received the same message on my Galaxy S5 saying I have four viruses due to visiting adult sites which I haven't. I cant delete it off my phone. When I return to my mobiles home screen and press the internet app it opens up the message again, I have to press the back button at least 14 times to return to my home screen, any suggestions what I should do?

Thanks, I gotten several and I usually... well open em.

Received via email:

"Rec'd the secure.mobspin4u.com notice on my Android; followed suggested process, & all appears well...

Thanks"

I cannot remove it from my browser any thoughts?

Thanks

Sean.

Thank you. I was really worried as I don't know a lot about technology. Thank you again.

Google:

You samsung galaxy tab3 7.0 has been infected with a virus!

Backdoor.AndroidOS.Obad.a

4 minutes 59 seconds

if you don't do anything, you android at risk.

Remove Virus now!

but I don't have a virus, and my android slowed.

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?

It's bad enough but I have to put up with slow internet, now these pop ups totally sucks.

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.

Received from an anonymous user:

"I was alarmed and frightened by these messages the other day. My phone is my life and I panicked! Then an "official" Samsung green page followed with a vibrating message popped up and I thought "This is real!" I installed anti-virus crap and then went home and deleted it! It takes a lot to fool me and this is criminal. Can you get these guys?

Rebecca."

Just received the pop up saying my android is infected, my screen was flashing a red android icon and vibrating. The site it said to go to was www.androidhelpa.xyz

The website "www.andrioder.xyz" is being used by cybercriminals to trick Android users into believing their mobile devices are infected with a virus or some other malware.

please before anyone factory-resets their phone, you may want to try a simpler task. I had the same problem on my Samsung GT-i8160. I noticed that there was a new application termed 'panel settings' almost the same time as when the problem started. so I uninstalled it, and the problem was gone!

I got an alert from Google saying I had 2 viruses on my kindle fire battery. I unfortunately clicked on the "sort now" bar. I'm hoping because I have lookout security it will be fine.

I got the below popup when using chrome browser .. Does it mean the photos passwords can be stolen from the phone?

"Your chrome mobile browser is heavily damaged by 4 viruses...It happened because of he recent site visit It may soon damage your sim card and can corrupt photos passwords and apps.

I have been getting this alert on my galaxy s3 saying my battery is infected from going to adult material websites any idea how to stop this I've even tried to do a factory reset which stopped it for like a week or 2 but it has since started happening again it does it whenever even when just opening text messages.

The warning about my Galaxy 5 being infected seems to pop up when I open text messages. Restarting the phone slowed the message down for awhile. I installed Avast and scanned and it did not find anything. The message recently changed to saying the battery was damaged. Is there a way to stop this?

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. Is there any way that I could get these messages to go away?

I keep getting the pop up scam thing saying I have a virus because I have watched adult stuff and I have read the comments below and a lot of it is when people have been on the web browser but mine is just popping up all the time!like when I'm on the home screen.. and is there any way of stopping the pop up as my son play on my phone so he will just press on it :(

My android has come up with "your device has 4 viruses as you visited adult sites" (which I've never). How do I get rid of the messages. Its very annoying. Also, I must install Firefox, do I have to? Any help would be appreciated.

It's hard to just ignore it if there's no ignore button. There's only the "ok" button to take it down.

Hi, it happened on my wife´s Samsung S5. The message is the same of other android users regarding vírus detection, but it directs to a site: yessapp.com.

I just installed antivirus to ensure that no vírus was installed on the phone.

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

What does it mean when I've got a Javascript saying I've been fined 100 dollars to unblock my phone from browsing and also mentioned that ive been accused for looking at materials that's against the law.

Received the following from a user:

"Thanks AVG for the free Virus Protection for my GS4, it fixed the Android Warning! virus. I didn't click all the way thru but it redirected my web browser to hardcore p*rn sites. Your sw saved me time, frustration and a trip to a Sprint store. Two thumbs up and 5 stars!"

Hi, I was on my game and then an advertisement saying watch free ad*lt content, while I went to press the X button I pressed on the ad. This directed me to my Google site and 3-4 browsers came up and then the “Your phone has a virus because of the ad*lt content you have been viewing. I pressed OK and I'm not sure if I have a virus or not I wasn't redirected to any site to download, but I am still worried that I might have the virus please answer soon

Thank you very much I thought I did have a virus.

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.

I received the same notice. How was this spam able to pop up on my android and is there any way to prevent it?

Hi.

I got the same pop up message as shown above: "WARNING. Your personal photos, Facebook..."

It also said I need update my flash. I did nothing and my flash is now blocked in Firefox and Google browser in my phone.

If it's not virus, what should I do to repair my browsers? I already tried scan all apps and storage with avast antivirus.

Thanks.

Virus in my phone. Help me as soon.

I was on a website ,my phone is an android by the way, and a popup appeared saying I have a virus or something like that and that I should download an app from the playstore. The only option it had was "okay" I clicked it and my phone gave off a loud beep but i wasnt redirected to another site or popup.Does my phone have a virus because of the weird beep?

If it was for an android to have this virus/ malware, would McAfee ( free edition ) detect it ? or any free antivirus ?

Hello. When I was on the web last night I got a popup message that said to start a virus scan because my android is infected with a virus and not knowing I clicked OK. It started ' the supposedly scan' but when it was close to 100% I clicked Exit to get out from the browser so I didn't go any further. Is it possible that my android got a virus ?

Thank you in advance.

My samsung tablet has lately been getting tons of ads:

"Immediate respond required! - click ok to clean your tablet,

your tablet has been infected with a fatal trogan horse, your credit card information and identity are at risk at theft." keeps popping up.

I tapped ok once but nothing happened. Im worried that I may have a different virus causing the ads to pop up. What do I do?

I get this message for the first time so I have pressed ok then directed to google play , but i do not install any thing.

I just re-covered my phone so every thing have deleted! And my phone is now new as l bought it!

How can i restore my data and my account on whats app?

Hi when was playing Jetpack joyride on my android phone my game some how lagged and then a message appeared saying that your android device has a virus and that advertisement never came back.

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.

I just had that fake warning, that my Samsung Android would be infected and since normally Android asks me for "stop it" or "ok". I clicked on ok - and then noticed that it was Not correct German - so I clicked on going back and then stoppen everything and went out of all of it.

Is my Samsung now infected?

Can you tell??

Thanks, Sr.helpless

I saw this on my iphone and it said android and i immediately closed my safari cleared cookies and data from my settings so am i safe?

Hi guys

I'm playing my jetpack joyride while im playing my game getting lag and something appear it says

Your andriod have 13 virus it may currupt your files or data

Please help my guys what should i do im just a child im 13 years old

What if you accidentally click on one of these? In my case I accidentally pressed okay and it directed me to google play but I immediately closed everything without proceeding further.

I clicked "ok" and installed the antivirus my android wanted. Now my facebook is not working and internet is slow. I ran three different virus scans but they all said there are no threaths. I returned the factory settings - didnt help. How do i remove the virus?

I am facing same problem from last 2 days. I am unable to download from any site through my Samsung device.Is there any way to get out of this. Please help

Thanks for keeping us updated on the subject.The warning with the supposed threat also appears on iPhones. I have an iPhone 5s and when i opened an app today i saw on the down side of the screen this message even though my phone is not android. Of course, i ignored it and i deleted the app. I am delighted that this is a fake alert and that the mobile's security hasn't been commpromised.

I press "remove virus now" button and then my phone gave out a beep. I was then redirected to google play store. I did not install anything switched off my phone.

Please let me know if my mobile could be infected?

I pressed ok when it first appeared! The spam did not close, so I got off the app and uninstalled it, and ran an anti virus scan. I did not find anything. So my question is am I at any risk? Did it steal any of my info?

Just encountered a spam message like this a while ago. Thank goodness i didn't click it. Anyways, I'm just curious how did they know my phone unit though?

How do we stop the pop up from happening?

Restarting my phone solved the issue for me, as this message couldn't be cleared and browser was unusable in the meantime.

What do we do? If we pressed ok and remove, WHAT DO WE DO!! Please help! Is there anyway to get our pictures back?? Please, please, please help.
