None of that. Just the thing seen by multiple users on this site and this site only. Quote -signature removed for rules violation- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phiney Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) Maybe this Hummgbad stuff?  http://www.gottabemobile.com/2016/07/05/android-hummingbad-malware-what-you-need-to-know/  As is said, i have the same Problem as you have, just not on PnW, where everything works fine =\ Yea if you actually read that article the virus doesn't do anything like cause weird popups.  People are only saying virus because the popup says virus, it's a dodgy script that directs you to this dodgy page to make you think you've got a virus and download their crappy anti virus software.  Edit: did some googling (you'd think Alex could have done this) and it looks like a dodgy redirect script has made it's way into paw.  'It came up while checking a site that I built. My client's site had been hacked with a "Redirect" file.'  http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s5/456001-something-popped-up-saying-my-device-infected-virus.html  have a read through all of that and it sheds some light.  also:  https://thecomputerperson.wordpress.com/2016/05/22/fake-virus-warning-on-imgur-pages-android-phones-only/ Edited July 6, 2016 by Phiney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Alex Posted July 7, 2016 Administrators Share Posted July 7, 2016 I mentioned it is possible that it's a redirect script somehow injected into the site. However, without knowing the exact URL that you're getting redirected on, and without being able to duplicate the results myself, there's not a lot that I can do. Â And again, no reports of it happening on iPhone yet, so I will not rule out the possibility that it could be exclusively an Android issue. Quote Is there a bug?

Yes, it's an android only issue, that does not mean it's not from a paw script. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guinevere Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 http://mobilesecurityzone.com/sjeuhangfu-pw-android-virus-removal/ This should help. Android browser has been hijacked and now you have adware installed into your phone. Just be lucky you haven't ran into ransom ware with pw, like i have in the past. because that shit is scary.

Not quite, it looks like it just attaches to your browser.i can get rid but if so many people have it could easily be coming from paw which means it will keep coming back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WISD0MTREE Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 http://mobilesecurityzone.com/sjeuhangfu-pw-android-virus-removal/ This should help. Android browser has been hijacked and now you have adware installed into your phone. Just be lucky you haven't ran into ransom ware with pw, like i have in the past. because that shit is scary. I just got mine less than two weeks ago AND my work makes me have an antivirus app. I highly doubt that I got a virus from checking my email and using my camera. I only got on any non-work site once (PaW), so I really doubt this is it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
