I've been getting a pop-up saying my battery has a virus , when online.
Is this a real thing , or is it a scary tatic to download the app that is in the battery has a virus pop-up.
HELP PLEASE ???
It is poop.
There are many of these crappy ads out there, some even claim to be right from Google.
WARNING! YOUR DEVICE IS 28.4% INVECTED BY 4 VIRUSES!
If you do not act within 4 minutes, your device will be locked after 24 hours.
Click 'OK' below to remove viruses now.

I have seen this one hundreds of times.
If you click OK, it invariably takes you to some BS app in the PlayStore.
This is how your phone gets a disease, and how users get frustrated.
It is also how these devs get clicks and downloads.
Any app that these ads lead to is junk at best, and spyware at worst.
I use to make a point of leaving bad reviews and reporting the apps to Google- but it seems that they don't care or are part of the scam too.
