before i say anything about the "virus", I cleared my IE browser history MANY times (I spam clicking it), soft reset my phone (volume down + power button). And it is still there. I'm using my own Wi-Fi (not sure if someone hacked it...)
Also did the following things:
Mark "Use SmartScreen Filter to help protect against unsafe websites"
In Cookies from websites "block all"
Close the freakin tab for god sake
This "virus" affected on any webpages that shows up ad. I opened Windows Phone Stack Exchange , it showed a pop up, titled something like "Message from webpage", message is "Please update your Lumia 520 right now to continue. " (in Chinese, Lumia displayed in English only), I pressed OK, and it started the redirect "virus", cleared my IE browser history MANY times, when I go back to the same page (windows stackexchange), it redirect again, it is a redirect loop FYI.
Later, I am surfing on NokiaPowerUser, another popup shown, same title, message display "Scandals of xxxxx! press ok to see it!" (in my country language, not my phone language), and I pressed back button (not OK), and a loud BEEP sound was heard, does it "hack" my phone? This BEEP doesn't sound like system default sound/ringtune/etc at all, neither I have this sound file.
My phone started to lag after that, and display "loading..." in main screen, I immediately soft reset my phone. Once reset complete, my phone still lag, and still display "loading..." in main screen, soft reset again. I hope that it is not going to happen again.
What the hell just happened? I don't know if the "virus" are strong enough to take play that BEEP sound to my speaker. I am very concerned if it really is a "virus", if anyone seen this situation before, does it still redirect?
