virus, malware, trackware on droid?

[trlcavscout]

My work PC got a trojan last week. How I knew something was wrong was when I would google something and click on the link i wanted and it would redirect me to a porn site.

My droid started wigging out last week when useing gun classifieds, it will auto redirect me while browsing here, glocktalk and armslist to a website and when i go back or close it takes me to the Google play store to a game download. Now when trying to click an nra link in my email it says page not found then redirects? What the hell?

Sure sounds like malware to me. Which flavor of browser is your android running?

I use ESET on my computers and have never had a case of Malware.. MACs are also no longer imune to viruses and malware. Almost all malware comes from visiting 3rd world sites and clicking on topless Anna Kournakova emails.

Macs were never "immune" to viruses. The reason you never heard of macs being susceptible to malware or trojans in the past was due to the fact that it would only affect such a small population of users. Now that Macs are more common in households it is now worth a hackers time to write malware to effect these users.
