Asus Transformer Computer Trojan Warning

[IRELAND123]

My Asus t300 tablet which I bought last Christmas has just gotten message through Firefox saying ' Your phone is infected, Your android tablet has a fatal trojan which was gotten by accessing adult websites, Press here (green button) to get rid of it". I didn't press the green button. I transferred all data off the computer and did a factory reset. I reinstalled firefox and a bit later the same notice came up. I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it and so far nothing (5 hours). I also installed malwarbytes from google play and it scanned the computer and found nothing. Should I be worried? Is my asus infected?

Wow to be honest i rock malwarebytes on my PC at home and love it and never knew that they have it for android now. But i will now get it. I would try Lookout mobile security also and do a scan with that. Let us know what you find.

Happened to me.The virus is actually the antivirus,it's a virus that keeps prompting you to download an antivirus and convincing you have a virus

OK so I shouldn't really be worried. Should I just ignore it? It still hasn't come up so perhaps uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling it worked...

Just ignore it don't worry everything is fine with the tablet,it is just some antivirus company doing popups to convince you,you have a virus so you can download their software

Ok. I will just ignore it and hope that it has gone. Thanks for responding
