This morning all of a sudden I get some little chat bar pop up along the bottom of my Toshiba AT100 (Thrive) task bar asking for a 'sexy' chat.... Believe me - I don't use my tablet for anything like that !
SO - where did it come from ? Is this linked to my (fairly) new gmail address ? How do these services get hold of my email address or whatever ?
I've got AVAST app running but that can't find any problems....
How do I report it / get rid of it, if it keeps happening ??
UPDATE.... this problem kept occuring - I switched OFF the Thrive - re-booted and THEN - it asked me for a PASSWORD ...
I don't use a password ! I thought of all my passwords : gmail / Facebook ect ---- NO GO !
Kept refusing....
HAD TO DO A COMPLETE RESET of my Thrive - losing all my stuff/apps ect...
Backup allowed me to re-install most of them - but if one of these has a trojan/virus that links to sites like these - how do I know which ?
They are all from APPS STORE/SHOP and should be 100% legit.....
Put's me off using Android - only had Thrive for a few weeks...
Why is this happening ? - How do I stop it from re-occuring - don't want this too often I can tell you !!!!!
