good reliable Anti virus? apps?

I just notice my x10 got a virus or a trojan. Anyone know any good real anti-virus program for mobile yet? I have no experiences in this as well.
I suspect it was from going "online" using opera mini.
Because my gmail account was taken over at the time i surfed online using opera (on x10) and also enable 3 android apps CEDIME, cantonese keyboard and Semji.
Since i haven't typed any password, so i don't suspect it to be keylogging. But i suspect something have install something on my moblie and use it to spam mails to my contact because gmail is perma log on in on my x10.

LookOut is what i'm using in my X10

Install LookOut. It works on my X10. i.e. it found strange actions sometimes.

funny thing is i heard linux is impossible to get a virus.
Which is what android run under. need someone to confirm. I haven't install yet. I want to ask more people before hand, becfause from experiences some an-ti virus PC ver. run weird actions to prove itself it does stuff.

Anti-Virus is not need on android, unless you install apps that are not from the market, and give them permission to install on your phone. You should be aware of what you are installing and where it's coming from first anyway.
I don't think there are any known viruses for android.... yet...

Kaspersky says trojan in SuperOneClick

Hi all,
I am a bit confused. I see lots of good responses to SuperOneClick and I would certainly like to root my SGS, but when I want to download the tool, Kaspersky kicks in and says it has a trojan. The downloaded file is then not usable anymore.
I've searched the net, but don't see anything about it. Anyone know what's up?
Why does Kaspersky say that SuperOneClick got a trojan? Tried several versions from this XDAsite.

Probably because phone carriers/manufacturers paid them to say so. Just disable kaspersky then download.

I do not believe that carriers/manufacturers payed Kaspersky to give that warning....Someone with more information?

Either what the other user said or a false positive, if you are worried test it through VirusTotal, just upload a file and itll scan it through a bunch of scanners.

reason why is
take it from someone whos knows anti viruses the one click root program alters boot sequence on an item doesn't have to be your computer virus's do the same some don't but the really nasty ones do so any thing that does such a thing is percived as a threat

Sorry force of habit when typing quickly.... What i was trying to say is that anti-viruses percive anything that changes code, I.E. boot sequence or O.S. (Operating System) main code as a threat. Computer viruses change code to do their damage, a trojan will change code to make a back door in to your computer or just delete code slowly till your computer is unbootable. Rooting your phone is to change the code originally set on your phone, so most anti-viruses will see one-click roots as a virus since it does all the work automatically and won't recognize simple zip files sinces they are lines of code that aren't being run in sequence to change code.......... any questions?

[Q] cracked by ChelpuS

Hi guys, noob here. I have an awkard situation and dont know how to go about it. I keep getting a "cracked by ChelpuS" message on the bottom of my Tab (Samsung) constantly and i cant find a program running in the background that i dont know about that could cause this. Ive had superuser installed for quite a while and have never had this message before. Im starting to worry that i might have downloaded some type of spyware or that my phone is being monitored by this chelpus guy or his app. First time for me and dont know what to do.
Thnx in advance
ivput this in general hacking section since i dont know where to begin with this type of question. I have searched and have found no one with the same situation. Agian thnx in
advance.

chelpus is a hacker that hack paid apps from market and make it usable for free,maybe some of your apps are paid app that cracked by him

remove lucky patcher or do the hard reset for your tab

Or basically uninstall any app you have downloaded somewhere else than market.

It means you are running pirated software, potentially with malware.
You know some of us feed our families 99cents at a time right?

Relax. Before you try to make him feel guilty, he may not have known it was a paid app and just dl'd the apk. Maybe the app was incompatible or not showing in the market so he couldn't dl it legitimately.

lucky patcher, titanium backup activator, or even a hacked titanium backup that is a pro version is causing the prompt.
chelpus is a cracker from Russia, who cracks apps, and i dont think its a spyware,
if u r rooted, use rom toolbox to find startup apps, then dissable any market/3rd party apps from startup.
well, i am not 100%sure, but it may due to cracked tb.( tb usually runs in bootup, or else any activator like lucky patcher/ tb activator etc. they run in startup, jus uninstall or remove from startup. u will be ok.

[Q] Phone said I had a virus while on this site?

I got a brand new HTC One a day ago, was on this site and I got a popup saying something along the lines of
"Your android has a virus press ok to delete it" with the options of Cancel and Ok.
I did press Cancel cause I thought it was a fake popup, but I do have Lookout installed and the lookout site scanners says that I've visited 22 sites, and 21 were safe so there was 1 site that I visited that was unsafe I guess, but is there anyway for me to see the sites scanned on Lookout?
I do not believe the 'virus' came from xda developers, or maybe I don't have one at all but I am paranoid about these type of things.
I did do a Lookout scan and it said everything was fine..
Will a factory reset do the trick incase I do have a virus? Or will I need to reformat?
Thanks.

I don't think it's a virus nowadays most of the websites push a popup saying that you have a virus so plz start the scan if you click on it???
You will be redirected to their website saying that you have to download the app.....!
So don't worry enjoy your browsing

I just got the same popup while visiting this site on another android phone. I'm pretty sure the problem is coming from one of the ad providers on this site.
will post a pic if anyone is interested

Then plz post the pics !!!

I wonder what kind of site your visiting... Anyways, just ignore the popup and hit the back button

No no no no
That's a fake virus alert. It's a piece of javascript that sends the text to the browser, so the message looks like it's coming from the system. You can use an actual computer and get the same pup-up, and it will look very real because it's coming up in an actual browser message instead of an advertisement or pop-up or something similar. It's a small piece of javascript, click cancel every time, and try not to visit sites like that mmkay?
Edit: after reading jammC's post about an "ad-provider" causing the message that's very possible. There could be a piece of javascript embedded into one of the advertisements. It's not uncommon.

Its simple! These "fakes" tell you there is a virus (when there isn't) and install their own software, which are actually spies. So becareful when browsing.. After all, you are on the internet

I had a friend with a similar issue - I turned him on to HideNinja VPN and it helped him. It's the only thing I can think of that may help. I'd suggest closing all tabs for all browsers. Delete the browsers you can that you don't prefer to use. Restart the device, install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cryptninja.vpn make sure the app is configured and running properly, then try running your browser. Make sure no alternate settings in your browser could be created jumbling or smashing. Give the "Desktop Version" of the site a try too.

Ok, about chrome i found out that cyanogenmod's browser is ten times faster!!! And for the ADS i wasn't aware that those were intrusive ADS(i thought that the option block popup was broken XD ), so i want to recommend all of you to do this http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/blocking-ads-in-android/ scroll down a bit and you'll find a tutorial to create an host file, normal ads aren't blocked but the intrusives one i noticed that this little file blocks them very well
