Virus notifications in the mobile version of Chrome for Android almost always have a common goal: to get the user to install a fake antivirus that is dedicated to doing the opposite of a genuine antivirus protection program.
That is, stealing passwords and personal information, flooding the device screen with advertisements, and committing many other types of cyberattacks.
Avoid virus infection alerts
Simply navigating to a contaminated page or clicking on a bogus prize message can lead to repeated virus infection alerts and redirects to sites that offer a promise of a fake antivirus solution.
However, there are several ways to prevent this from happening in the Chrome browser installed on the terminal. Here we show them to you.
How to remove virus alerts that appear in Chrome for Android
First of all, close the Chrome browser. For this, go to Settings > Applications and select Google Chrome. Next, click on Force stop.
Now, tap on the App info menu and select Uninstall updates.
To finish, go to the Google Play Store, search for Google Chrome and proceed to install this browser from scratch.
