I continually receive a pop up on my Samsung s5. It says I have 13 viruses..

[AC Question]

It says

"Warning.Google.com-viruses-from-porn-sites.sstam.com s..."

Mobile infections (13) dangerous viruses, because viewing porn sites ?

If the problem can not be resolved immediately , the viruses will spy your phone, and destroy your SIM card, delete all your contacts.

Please follow the instructions to remove the virus.

Did you notice the poor English and ? placement...lol

What can I do to remove this pop up....Thanks in advanced....

Welcome to the forums. It sounds like a scam, just 'scareware' trying to convince you to download some shady app. Avoid clicking anywhere inside the pop-up and exit using the Return key. You need to find out which app is pushing those pop-ups and uninstall it. The usual culprits are free games, cleaners, RAM managers or booster apps. Tell us how it goes.

My wife just started getting this exact message today. She has not recently installed any apps. Only using the home key allows exiting the error message. It reappears anytime the chrome browser opens. It only consistently appears when she opens the chrome browser for the first time. I tried checking the homepage, but there is no option for changing the homepage in the android settings menu. Looking for a resolution here.

Welcome to the forums. If those messages only show up in Chrome, you could try. Go settings - apps - select Chrome - force stop - clear data and then restart the phone.

My wife started seeing these today as well (Nexus 6). She said she hasn't installed any apps in over a week. She was also really behind on updates, so this evening I installed the April & May security updates. Haven't seen the warning again yet, but if they do come back, we'll try to uninstall her latest 2 apps ( weight watchers and some diet betting app) -- put here in case others recently installed those apps too, maybe it'll help us zero in on the culprit (long shot, I know)

Same here on my wife's galaxy edge. Just started in the last day or two. Can hit ok and then browse away from the site, but it keeps popping up on the here and there....

Seems like it's some new thing since this is the only site I've found with the full error....

If these popups are only occurring while browsing, then they're associated with a website. Go to Settings>Apps or the App Manager, select the browser you're using, and Clear Cache/Clear Data, then Force Stop. Now open again, and see if the popups occur. Make a note of which sites you're on when these popups occur. It's not just porn sites that have these popups--a lot of those annoying clickbait sites tend to have them as well.

Got this on my phone when I click a link on realclearpolitics.com... Twice... Same site.

I was getting a similar msg in other apps. Another forum mentioned clearing browser data.
