Hi my phone as got a virus I belive. When searching then opening a page porn opens up and takes over. I will admit it's my fault but I only uses one website 10 times max that's the truth. Does any one know how to see of there is a virus and how to get rid of it. I'm crap with technology. Vt please don't take this down. I wouldn't ask if I wasn't desperate.

well there are some antivirus you can download for your phone and some of it is for free. but, at this point, you might have to take it it/get a new phone

It's nothing major just pop ups

Do you think a factory reset would do it ?

I've worked out it only happens on one site after trying 2 others sites

I think a factory reset should help.

Is it just one specific site? Also did you try deleting your cookies, reinstalling the web browser?

Bro it's just a pop-up, an ad from a website, not a virus. xD

But it opens up like 5 tabs and is on a site nothing to do with pron. It's a medical site.
