Hi,
Had odd behaviour on my phone this morning, I was logged out of Facebook without doing it manually and had to log back in, then I used facebook for a while this morning.
When I ran Chrome it directed me to a site saying "Facebook special offers" or some such with a button to click (which I obviously didn't). Avast then detected this site as a malware site.
General scans of the device using Avast and Malwarebytes didn't detect anything.
I haven't looked at anything obviously malicious myself, but the only link is that yesterday my girlfriend (who is friends with me on facebook) unintentionally visited a malicious site on Chrome (which was supposed to be a cookery site, but it ended up showing her porn and she clicked a button she probably shouldn't have).
My question is, where to go now?
I will reset my main Gmail password and my Facebook password, also (maybe in a bit of a panic) I have factory reset my phone.
Do I need to do anything drastic like completely shutdown my Facebook account?
Last night (before the issue arrived on my phone) I changed her Gmail and Facebook passwords.
On my phone there are two old Gmail accounts, which I have completely forgotten the password of, but were associated with the phone. Is there any way I can completely deactivate these without knowing the password?
FWIW device is Nexus 5 running Android 6, I presume I'll be able to update back from 4 to 6 when the phone reboots after reset.
Thanks,
Nick
