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?

The easiest way to clear the cache on ANY app on a cellphone is to long press on the app icon, select "info", select storage and cache then "clear cache".

This includes any version of chrome!

Since you are there back tab once on the "←" on top and press "Force stop".

If you still have problems, you might have to clear everything else in your browsers settings. Yet do everything. Like cookies, site preferences, all open tabs and browser history.
