Need help with pop up

TimD148 — Sun, 20 Sep 2026 21:37:19 GMT

Can someone help me. I've been trying to fix my husband's tablet. He is getting nonstop pop-ups. It is saying there are viruses on here. I've installed Nirton 360 and it says there are no viruses. Where do I go from here

Your husband's tablet, most likely, does not have a real virus; instead, a web browser on the device has allowed a spammy website to send fake notification pop-ups.

Another possibility is that you have a malicious app installed. It could provide some minimal useful feature but in reality be a malicious source of pop ups.

It's a fake scam advertisement pop-up. don't download anything that it tells you to. I recommend formatting the tablet and installing a VPN like Nord that disables scam advertisements and websites.

Could be from a site directly or malware
