AC Question

I have a galaxy s6 edge. I've had it for over a year and I have been getting pop-ups saying that my phone is infected. This is have happened a few times and it was only 2 or 3 times where I clicked the link. The pop-ups that I get say that they are from google, saying that my phone is infected with 13 viruses due to looking at porn sites and on the bottom there's a countdown and a button to fix the problem. I have two security apps, Avast and CM security. Both say that there is no virus. I understand Malware and Trojans, but I have been getting these types of pop-ups the most and I was wondering if I should be worried?
 
Welcome to AC!
Android OS is not like Windows OS,therefore you can't het viruses unless you try to install fishy apps. Even tough,Google security sistem won't let you install it - you probably got an app wich is pulling pranks on you.
And unibstall CM and other "antivirus" software - they are totally ****. Google has it's own defense system.
