Do you have a lot of free apps because it sounds like it`s coming from one of them. Find the app that`s doing it and uninstall it. Last resort is factory reset but you don`t want to do that if you can get rid by other means. Good luck. Ken. |

This happened recently to my iPhone 2 weeks ago. I had kept a backup via iCloud and was able to do a reset to its original factory state. I suspect people might be adverse giving advice in case something goes wrong with your phone, so what ever your choose to do has to be you decision and not on the advice of another member. I used mcafee antivirus and did a scan. One suspect file was found and deleted. Happy days, hope the same for you. |

My missus has been getting those 'pop up' virus scam notices on her Android. I've told her not to click on them & get an anti-virus app on it. https://www.onlinethreatalerts.com/a...-spam-message/

I'm reckoning it's just Google search way of getting you to buy antiviral from them.it did come from Google after all.

I keep getting a pop up saying I've won a iPhone, every couple of weeks it'll appear but only when I'm on photbucket. I just restart my phone and it goes away for another 2 weeks. It's really irritating when it pops up

Never visit Google store for anything on any type of equipment, must be an age thing, happy to leave all that the younger generation.
