Out of the blue a few days ago I started getting intrusive pop-up ads while browsing the web. I use Chrome and Firefox.
Now, while web browsing, I get redirected to a site called downlund.com and Firefox asks how I want to proceed with the download. I always just back out.
I have avg and lookout on my phone, both of which say I am good to go.
Anyone familiar with this?

have u installed any apps manually? is so, what? have u installed any shady ad blocker apps?
something may have taken over your hosts file. if so, it may be an easy fix, but who knows what else it's doing. might be best to do a factory reset and be done with it.
you're the first instance I've heard of having android malware, and apparently confirming why android antivirus apps are a joke.

I just rooted and that took care of it. I didn't have ad blockers. The only thing out of the ordinary was 2048 game app. But it was the highest rated in the play store. Anyway. Thank you.

I spoke too soon. Its back. Its for an app I used to have. I uninstalled it a few days go, and just got this pop up tonight which links to the app in the play store.

no, and I've used that app before. Unless malware was injected into the app recently updated on the play store, it's not the culprit.
what do u mean by you rooted and took care of the virus? What did u actually do after rooting? had you previously downloaded any apps from the internet (not on the play store)?
Sent from Tapatalk using my xposed VZW G2
It seemed to have stopped after I rooted, but I spoke too soon. I did not download anything from the internet.
But after all that I downloaded ad away from f-droid and now it s gone. Adaway said AccuWeather from the playstore was the culprit.

Great app, great interface, but . . . after installing the app I used it to listen to a couple of tunes then exited the app. Since then I noticed my battery useage has gone crazy, in the space of a couple of hours my phone went from 79% to 42% and I never even used the phone during that time. My battery normally lasts between a day and a couple of days at a time between charges.
Thinking it may be something to do with the music junk app I went back to the market to see if anyone else having similar problem and got a page saying link invalid. Tried to find the publishers website and that seems to be gone as well ! Anyone else experienced high battery consumption with this app ?
Hmm..never had that here, but I've posted a link to my copy if you like to uninstall and re-install
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
I haven't gotten a chance to see how much of an affect this app has on battery life as I've just installed it, but I have noticed that it constantly runs on my phone. It starts on boot and will reopen itself if I kill the app with task killer even though I haven't even used the app. Anyone have any idea why this app needs to constantly run in the background?
Installed the app but it shows network error whenever I search or select a song from catalog.
Edit: it works now! I don't know what happened yesterday.
Thank you so much...

I can download apps and have no issues.
But as soon as I click music on the store page it says connection timed out.

Does it work for you now? I can access it just fine. Could have been google servers resetting after the play store was hacked and crashed.

Have you tried connecting through wifi? It took a long time to load up the first time i tried and I had full bars on LTE. Just guessing here since it looks like your signal is not as strong.
I tried wifi also still no success

Here is a list of things you can try to fix the timeout issue. Have you messed with time and date settings? Or daylight savings might have caused a sync error with google servers? Good luck
Ok here is the work around I found if you go to Google play music app info and un install the updates for it . Then go back to Google play store click music it works for me.

Just download and install. First time you send a message with it, it will ask if you want to set as default. This has some nice improvements over stock.

I uninstalled it. The material design is nice but it bothered me that I had to keep the stock message app also. I had the stock app hidden with xposed GEL settings but it was still bothering me. I also uninstalled the Lollipop Gmail app and is now solely running Inbox for email. My fascination with Lollipop has come to an end. Lol

Unfortunately, as Caseyk621 mentioned above, the only way I was able to get the app not to FC was to leave the stock app in there. Maybe something to do with the ROM as it is a hit and miss for lollipop apps at this point and the ways to get the apps to work are different for everyone. As an example, I have not found a way to make the lollipop calendar app to work and I've tried every way imaginable. So, at this point I am over it, back to stability and functionality for me. The rest of the eye candy will come later. Inbox is pretty cool though and is now my daily driver. The new Play Music app is awesome and the new Google Now launcher ties everything together nicely.

Does it load on your device or just sits at the sign in screen?
If yours work with no problem what is your setup? Rooted/Stock/Modules etc.

Do you have hardware overlays disabled in developer options?

Also, you can always try to reset data and cache of Netflix using app manager in your settings option. That may help. Cheers.
Works fine, stock, stock rooted, and rooted with fire Kat v4.
Not broken:
Firekat v5
It was the ad blocker I was using. Changed ad blockers and it now loads with no issues.

Wipe data and cache on the app and force stop that usually work when a app has a issue. Also maybe reboot before restarting app

I reverted the host file and made a reboot but i'm getting the same error, no connection to netflix, did you do something else?
I just checked, Netflix works on Darth stalker with adaway.
Speaking with Netflix's customer support they say that is not their issue, that definitely is Samsung's problem. Anyway i did a lot of testing and i was able to fix this by using an old version of Nextflix, the 3.3.3.
See attached. (This is the original Netflix 3.3.3 app)

I just switched from RAPTURE ROM to DARTH STALKER and Netflix worked, I also tried Dynamic Kat and it didn't work. So my conclusion is "Netflix works for FireKat and Darth Stalker".
Stock rooted NK4 with AdAway and MinMinGuard, latest Netflix from the Play Store works perfectly.
I've used Darth stalker since my galaxy s3. Jovy23 makes fantastic stable roms. Keyword STABLE.
My Netflix came straight from the play store.
Why am I not able to download S Note app from the play store..
I can download it from the galaxy apps Store but not google play which has beta access..

After the battery issue .. do you think they want the clueless contingency in the Note 7 ownership *****ing about their S Note app crashing. A lot of folks don't understand WTF beta means. I mean .. how many years did Gmail have the beta label? Google themselves have played a huge part in destroying what beta means. I don't blame them for doing this right now.
