androidsecurityfree annoying pop up

[leesrt]

I keep getting a pop up every so often that says "scan for virus & spyware" with a download link. How do I make this stop?

When is this happening exactly, in any app or anytime? is it happening in the notification bar? can you take a screen shot of it?

This has started happening to me all day today as well and I cannot get it to stop. It does not matter if I have any apps open or not. It just all the sudden shows up outta nowhere. I have attached a screenshot to this post. Any ideas how to make it stop???

That's it, I can't make it stop.
No other apps are open and I haven't loaded anything recently.

lets try this to start
Go to settings>application manager> Browser or internet (whatever the your device is using ) > Clear Data
let me know if it keeps happening

I did what you suggested so I'll give it some time and see.

Tried that but it did not work for me. Not sure if it makes a difference, but I have a Galaxy S3. Did not realize that this forum is for Droid Maxx :-(

When you run lookout it doesn't detect anything?

All of you must have a common app that is causing this problem. Maybe a messenger app or a launcher.

Just added it. Scanning now...will post when finished.

 

[mommarockstar]

It says "All installed apps are safe"

should I be running something else???

Nope . I think it is just an app that is installed kicking off these pop ups. Do you have games installed on your device?

I have three games that I have had for quite a while: Candy Crush, Bingo Blitz and Cosmic Patrol...

It's happening to me too. On my Kindle Fire HD. Both lookout and McAfee
came back clean. It's really annoying. Like every couple minutes.

I don't have any of those games. This is the only post I have seen on this so far....
