It had me go through downloading a particular app. When I did, it started to clear out things to speed up my phone. Then a black hole/vortex opened on my screen and took in files. I deleted the app, downloaded trend micro and ran the scans, and it said I didn't have any viruses. The only thing personal on my phone was contacts. It said my phone was protected. I'm wondering if it is or what should I do?
Scan your mobile device with another antivirus, such as Avast.
I did. Is it safe if it comes up clear as well?
Yes, it should be.
I tried to remove the page from my browser with all the ways show in this post but apparently doesn't work for me. What I can do?
Received via email: "Good evening. I have had this fake virus link. I did not click on it. Instead I just close the page and reopen my browser and continue browsing. Is there any chance im infected? Appreciate your help"
No, you are not infected. Once you have not downloaded and installed an app, you didn't infect your mobile device.
Saying I have four viruses and it's because visit adult sites. I don't even go to any of those sites.
It won't stop popping up for me. I don't know what to do.
-Go to "Settings"-Go to "Application Manager"-Remove all unknown appsA malicious app maybe causing the pop-ups.
