The other day I was using Google News, clicked a Politico link, and got a popup saying Google had selected me to get a free iPad if I answered some survey questions. I didn't fall for it but I had never gotten anything like this before on my device.
I posted on the support forum and some "Platinum Product Expert" said I was infected. I ran BitDefender and it found nothing, so I posted that info and the Expert said that's not serious antivirus and I should get a serious tool. I asked what tool and he said he couldn't recommend non-Google products on there and I should ask somewhere else, so here I am.
All the reviews I read say BitDefender's the best Android antivirus. Is that wrong? This hasn't happened since, and I use Google News all the time, so it seems unlikely it was caused by malware. Maybe Politico got infected? Or is there really some better tool that might detect an infection that BitDefender wouldn't?
