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.
Those pop-ups are often caused by browser notifications or a recently installed app, not a virus. Clear the browserโs site data/notifications and remove any unfamiliar apps. Donโt click the virus warningsโif Norton shows the device is clean, thatโs reassuring.
