Possibly minor virus?

[edsterfish12]

I keep getting notifications in foreign language about 4 times a day. The notification icon is a bell. They have a title to them and it's in English and have said 360 security, Zero launcher, and lazy swipe. Then it will be followed with some sort of language I don't know. If I tap on the notification it disappears and nothing happens. Should I be worried? I have the LG g3 model d850 and live in USA.

It may be an app that you downloaded that is causing the problem. I suggest scanning your phone with this app: https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...ails?id=com.lookout.addetector&token=8U-Pr4jI

Also, when you get the notification again in your notification bar, push and hold the notification and select "App Info." This will take you to the app that is showing the notification.

What the first notification means "360 Security - Anti-Virus, World number one anti-virus software"

So it means those notifications are just ads.
