AC Question
Possible Malware Infection
I was searching for something on my phone a few days ago and had a pop-up come up stating to pay $100 via UKash or else I'd be reported. I didn't click anything and managed to close all of the popups. Didn't appear that anything actually ran as I was still able to use my phone. Regardless did a Factory Reset.
Today I was looking up some stats on Baseball Reference and got a PaulGreenwood.com popup. Did another factory reset.
Could the malware survive the factory reset? My phone is not rooted, Unknown Sources is off, Avast/Malware Bytes/Bit Defender all come up clean. Moto G. This an odd coincidence?
