First time Android user here - new LG G3, rooted (IOroot).
I just started getting pop ups on my screen which look like Malware. The most recent was
The page at 'http://www.googlandroid.com' says:
Detected you are using an expired Android Keyboard!
Update to the latest version (TouchPal) now.
[OK]
It popped up while selecting a widget to place on the lock screen - not a place I expected a popup to occur. I deleted the most recent app I'd installed, but it came back. There was another (which occured on my home screen) but I didn't capture it. Since I'm not using TouchPal, it certainly smells malware-ish.
How does one go about tracking down what is running and how to squish these annoyances? (note: while this is my first android phone, I'm not a stranger to linux or the commandline in unix or windows - I just don't know how android is laid out from a developer side, and don't know where to start picking apart the source of this kind of stuff)
Thanks!!
