Hi @watcher, Thanks for bringing this to our attention. This issue has been resolved and will no longer be detected in future database versions. Thanks again, Nathan

Hi @Desertlabrat, This is most likely a form of browser related ads. This is caused by the way most browsers handle redirections executed by javascript code. Most browsers don't do a great job of preventing these redirects, which also cause ad pop-ups. Advertising affiliates are aware of this, and exploit this weakness. Even if an advertising affiliate is shut down for using this exploit, they just come back with a different affiliate id and are right back at it. The best way to block these pop-ups are to try a different browsers, disable javascript, install a browser with ad blocking (like Opera), and/or install Ad-block Plus. If you encounter these pop-ups again, back out of them using Android's back key. Also, clearing your history and cache will help stop the ads from reoccurring. Thanks for reaching out, Nathan

Hi @Macca86, Please see this thread: There is no risk, so you can either ignore or remove the file. Nathan

Hi @Chernsha, Is the APK installed on your phone? Uninstalling will resolve any issues. It is a simple potentially unwanted riskware that can be used to send payments via SMS. However, it would need confirmation to due so, therefore the risk is low. Nathan

Hi @kjaxcd, The malware needs to be removed from the Device Administrators list before it can be uninstall. I recently wrote a blog about this particular infection: Mobile Menace Monday: Adware MobiDash gets stealthy Nathan

Hi @Bikuisi, Have you tried restarting your phone? Most likely this is due to a malfunction with software/hardware and not related to malware. Nathan

Hi @henkka22, You are correct, if you root your device you can remove using ADB. However, this isn't something I personally recommend due to the potential damaging the device permanently aka "bricking" it. But hey, glad it all worked for you though! 😀 Nathan

Hi @Gerano, That's great news! I'm glad this method worked for you! Nathan

Hi @ParanoiaBoy, The main purpose of these pop-ups are to gather information like email address. As long as you didn't enter any info you are fine. It appears the site has already been removed. Nathan

Hi @Mikeky5910, This may be preinstalled malware, which is becoming more of an issue -> Mobile Menace Monday: Preinstalled adware and sometimes worse Preinstalled malware cannot be removed, only disabled.

Hi @Question_asker, The notification is most likely stating that Chrome is clean via our Advance Anti-Ransomware scanner. Therefore, no cause for concern. Nathan
