Ever get a virus on your phone?

Yesterday my cell phone screen started flashing with a loud sound saying I had viruses. Now every time I use the phone , the text sound alert keeps playing multiple times all DAY from the virus page I assume. I guess it's saying to buy antivirus program but I am buying a new phone soon so not doing that. Anyone know how to stop this sound alert ? And should you install a free antivirus on a new phone?

If it's on your browser, delete all browsing data and clean the cache. Also check for any unknown folders in your downloads and delete them. That'll probably help.

@Baybreeze it should appear when you select to delete the browsing data. You'll see an option to ✔️ to clear 'Cached Images and Files'.
