When I go to any page (be it a direct link or indirect through a search engine) on either of my two Android phones (different versions of Android), I get a popup, eventhough I have popups disabled, that says in my native language something like:
fun4u.mobi warning! You need to install a virus scanner (etc etc). The only option I can choose is "okay". There is no cross or cancel option. When I choose the back button it redirects me to their website anyway.
This is NOT a virus that got in my phone through some app I installed. I know this because:
- Two different phones, different Android versions, different apps installed
- It does this in any browser, Chrome, Standard Browser, Dolphin
- It only does this when I go to any page on Gamespot.com, except for direct links to mp4 videos
Â
What have I done to resolve this:
- I scanned my phones for malware using AVG and Ad Network Detector
- Deleted cookies, cache and browser history
Â
When I disable cookies and Java in my browser, the page loads fine and without any issues. This leads me to believe it is either a cookie or a Java issue with the website (maybe a Java virus???).
Â
When you Google search "fun4u.mobi" there are multiple people reporting this issue on other forums on the web. It seems to have begun somewhere this week, with me atleast. Last week and before that I never had this issue and I havent installed any apps or downloaded anything in the meantime.
Â
Help?
