Anyone else has a real looking message pop up while on Grindr saying something needs updated, I forget what it was called, I clicked on it, it was update pdf "Something" I forget, but when I opened it there was shitty music and it seemed to take over my phone.

Luckily I managed to delete it

Thinking of deleting Grindr, the adverts you can hardly get rid of make it almost unusable, but if it's also decided to give your phone viruses as well, then I'm out!

PDFs as attachments are lethal if you don't know where they're from. So much code can be embedded in them

You won't have deleted it you are probably infected. Do a Google search to see if there is advice on neutralising the infection.

You should never click on these links, and downloading anything like that is unwise.

If it was my computer or phone, I'd clear the drives and reload the os.

The adds are a pain but harmless so far

There is one advert I've noticed recently that gives the impression you're infected and encouraged you to install antivirus software

Not cool grind...shit ads is one thing but condoning one that's lying to get a hit is poor form

The worse thing for me now is, and it's only happened the last month, it'd started to mix up the distances of the profiles

Before if it showed say 15 profiles they would all be in ascending distance from me

Now the first five are say 1 to 10 miles away, then the next 5 are 60 to 100 miles away , then the last five are 11 to 30 miles away???
