Reasons for concern

  • Shows a fake antivirus alert

    The page says your device needs cleaning and tells you to tap a button to clean it.

  • One of a group of fake warning sites

    Its button leads to a link set up the same way as the ones on other sites we found showing fake phone and virus warnings.

  • Keeps its warning off the home page

    The home page is blank. The warning sits on a separate page, and this group of sites moves it to a new page every few weeks.
