AC Question

When using google search (Not chrome) which opens the internet app....the following website/ad pops up:

https: //enginedroid77 .com says:
WARNING!
Samsung Galaxy S6 is infected with virus and battery has been damaged!

Continue with instructions to fix phone. Do not close this window.

**Exit at your own risk**

When I close the warning the page says: (2) Virus have been detected on your Samsung Galaxy S6 and battery has been infected and damaged.
Then there is a timer. (if the timer runs out nothing happens.)

If I follow the repair instructions: If says to go to google play and install a virus removal app. I get an error 400 Campaign data was not completing when handling click or visit.

I downloaded avast, avg and Malewarebytes and nothing was found.

thank you for your assistance.

Welcome to the forums! You could try clearing cache and data for the Internet app in settings - apps and then reboot your phone. Those ads are bogus and you should never click on them, use your return key to exit. Tell us how it goes.
