Post screenshots or atleast describe the problems you are facing a little bit more in detail, if you want help.

Apps are sandboxed....so in theory it can not infect your entire phone. So deleting the naughty app is the only solution......as it concern webbrowsing....clear your browser in settings. Otherwise clear your phone with a factory reset. Btw file a report to ms. I for one don't believe in a virusinfection. Just read how wp and there apps work and you will understand wat i mean.

I feel the virus is called "troll" and unfortunately no tool can remove it...

Could a moderator please close this thread?

re: Virus Detected

And why should they close it?
You dont have to read it.........
But not everyone knows that there are fake warnings on some websites.

Fake antivirus Trojan targets Android users who scare easily (and don't understand Android)
Same story for wp users.
It's just fake.

I trust IE on Windows Phone more than I trust IE on Windows (PC). Lets get real, Windows Phone is one of the safest OS.
