Seems to be a nasty porno/dating website...my mobile has suddenly picked this site up-every time I turn it on it's there...any ideas how I get rid of it, or how I got it in the first place? It's a Sony Xperia BTW..

Browser-also seem to have "acquired" Zoosk- also a dodgy dating site! I didn't load them, and don't want them but I can't see how to get rid of them! Coincidentally,they only appeared after I had a msg from Mcafee security saying it had found something dodgy,,Debt-free...and staying that way...0

It was a question, not a suggestion.
I am no expert, but if you really want to get help here, you have to post all the details to make it clear what actually happens and as a result of what actions.
'Picks up', 'appear' and 'acquired' are too unintelligible terms.0 -
Turn on then smells like an app .0

If it's the browser then it can be just the home page that needs changing.0

Factory reset or it may be an app0

I certainly haven't downloaded the app!Debt-free...and staying that way...0

It's best to be as vague as possible, schoolrunmum. That way the MSE experts have to practise mind-reading techniques instead of the usual mundane stuff where a member has a problem but provides plenty of information about their equipment.0
