anyone ever aware the AVG Antivirus Pro. Has adware which pops up time to time. when u do a scan say no virus. the pop up comes out below ask u go other sites. says your mobile infected. please click link.

PHONE IS INFECTED? Clean Virus Now.

or sometimes different ads pop up say panel place - paid surveys. earn via m'sia surverys.

is the program safe? this comes together with phone.

Could be other apps especially free ones that could be causing this. Try deleting one by one according to date installed.

You restored from another phone? What other free apps do u have on your phone now? Games, freewares and simple apps like torchlight could be causing this.

no free apps installed.

to simulate the problem is easy.
1. tap on Program (6 dot)
2. tap the AVG Antivirus
3. You see Protection, Performance, Anti-Theft & Privacy comes out. with last scan:
4. you wont see adware here.
5. now tap on Protection.
6. Now wait and you see adware comes out from bottom of your screen. adware like property guru m'sia follow by many other comes out one by one at bottom.

after do checking. the AVG antivirus provided by phone is freeware. which why adware package together. no wonder those pop ups came out. which eventually consume mobile data quota in long run.

anyone has best antivirus. can recommend thanks. good for wifi at cybercafé where risk is highest.
