On my wife's S3 last night she got a random popup (on her home screen) that said:
"Your cell may have a virus" with two buttons to select labeled: "No Thanks" and "Get help". I didn't hit either out of a fear that it was somehow something bad no matter which button I selected. So I restarted the phone and it went away. There was no other way to back out of it or ignore it.
My other thought was maybe it was just some popup ad of some sort on my wife's phone and if I hit "get help" it would then take me to some anti-virus app. That's what I'm thinking it was now.
Anyone seen this before or know what it's about?
Once when I was looking for clash of clans hacks, I went to download an apk and I encountered a thing that said, Your Nexus 5X has a virus. So I proceeded to reboot the device and it works fine. Also once, while going to gmail, I accidentally typed gmai.com and missed the L. this then proceeded to freeze up the computer and tell me I had a virus. While trying to exit this, the popup would allow only an action on it to be made. So i just held the power button until the computer restarted. So, yea.
