Help Infected with Virus from Go Dev Team?

[Lennatron]

Hi all,

I have the Galaxy Note 5. When I use Google Chrome I am redirected to a fake website telling me my phone is infected. I tried uninstalling Chrome but it keeps coming back. The website will eventually redirect you to the Play Store to download Go Security, Antivirus AppLock. They also impersonate Google in their scheme to get you to download their "Anti-Virus Security" app.

As far as I know, this is in violation of the Google Play Developer Terms and this app could be removed for using these deceptive advertisement techniques.

I use to think they were good developers but I will now avoid ALL of their apps as they seem untrustworthy and their apps may contain malware. It reminds me of the old viruses in Windows telling you to download AntiVirus while the AntiVirus itself was the virus (its called a Trojan Horse).

Here is a YouTube video I recorded so you can see for yourself:

Another thing they do is put an undesirable advertising lock-screen on your phone or tablet. Yup, do NOT use anything GO.

FYI it's not "virus" in the true sense, i.e. it can't self replicate and infect other devices, but definitely a trojan though.
