Hello,
I just received this message on my phone while I was on the Internet (Google Chrome browser):
"The page at address nwtljjgdla.xyz says:
Your system is heavily damaged by (four) viruses!
We detect that your Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime is 28.1% damaged due to (four) harmful viruses coming from recent adult sites. Soon, it will damage your phone's SIM card, corrupt your contacts, photos, data, applications, etc...
If you do not remove the virus now, it will cause serious damage to your phone. Here is what you need to do (step by step):
Step 1: Press the button and install the APP for free on Google Play!
Step 2: Open the application to speed up and fix your browser now!
WARNING!
This Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime is infected with viruses and your browser is seriously damaged. You must remove the viruses and make corrections immediately.
It is necessary to remove and fix it now.
Do not close this window.
Please help me! I'm really scared! Is this a real virus or just an ad?
A few clarifications:
1) I don't go to adult sites as they say, but sometimes I do look up definitions of words that might be considered "adult"?
Also, I don't know what the address nwtljjgdla.xyz is
2) So I didn't close this window. I installed antivirus software by myself (CM Security, Clean Master, 360 Security) which did not detect any viruses.
3) I can exit the Internet without problems anyway. It's just when I go on it that the phone starts vibrating and gives me this message.
I'm really freaking out
Thank you for your response.

Hello,
Never, EVER, click on a button from a web page that informs you of a potential vulnerability of the device!
A simple web page is incapable of analyzing the phone to see if there is a virus.
