I copied the address it trying to reach
Code:

h t t p:/ /w w w.androidsecurityfree.org/v3e/index.html?version=locked-suite&wwd=2&page=aa.matt.5svp.0830&split=1390677a& ccrule=33cbf077&offer=aa.matt.3tfi&product=anti-virus&partner=nb&country=us&language=en&pool=e7cd2 767&pop=0&affid=184772&subid=&subid2=OjU6NDg6MTY6A mZzJHUgYKBh7H9Rbw-2mDHW81APED2pdCwdvg7Qv0C5GiYo97THjC_rDk8yLfcrE48du rZ5pRNnwtMSrz8ARw&shortcut=aausnb&ipcc=us&iprc=ca& xsid=l1S4xXuJnUuv3ETpaJZz4g&ccconfigid=348fbd4

The issue is continues regardless of reboot, close out the browser, clear cache/data. it keep coming back
She has the free version of lookout installed and it doesn't find anything.
