more options

I just received a notice that I had 4 viruses on my phone and not to Leave the page I was on. That I should go straight to Google play and download an app. and that if I left I wouldn't be able to remove them. How can I check Firefox to see if I am having problems with something that may have gotten by?

Just install any antivirus from Play Market. I recommend: Dr.Safety, Dr.Web, Kaspersky, Avast...
