Can a virus follow fast-opening windows?

Question

Android

Hello.
It happens that you go to a site that Google issued in response to an unpopular request, and immediately an exorbitant number of windows with the same content starts opening, but no downloads start.
Question: it can randomly download a virus to the device and what is it for administrators?

Answer 1

It can be said that there are no viruses on Android, and all malicious programs are not viruses, that is, they cannot install and spread themselves, they need the "help" of the victim.
I think the endless opening of the window is needed to cheat the statistics of site views, and with it advertising, but I myself have not come across this

Answer 2

This is (most likely) a chain of redirects, leading (as a rule) to the fact that the operator signs a SIM card for some kind of mobile subscription and starts stealing money from the SIM card and sharing it with the subscription organizer.
Check the list of mobile subscriptions in the operator's personal account, delete all subscriptions that you find, activate the "content account" or "account for entertainment services" service (it's called something like that, I don't remember exactly) - this will protect against this in the future.
By the way, this happens when you sit from a computer via mobile Internet, I came across several times. Moreover, if you turn on the VPN and go to the same sites, redirects do not occur, and the sites work as if nothing had happened.

It's more of an ad
