Hello, I would like to know if using AdwCleaner on our smartphone is a good idea? (I saw there was a version for Android on the Play Store)
My phone is 5 years old and sometimes when I connect, it asks me which browser to use to open an ad page
Is this adware?

Thank you

    Hello,
    There is no version of Adwcleaner for Android on https://play.google.com/store?hl=en, so if you found one, it is not official as it does not come from https://play.google.com/store?hl=en. However, you have Malwarebytes, which is the publisher of Adwcleaner https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.malwarebytes.antimalware&hl=en

      And is Malwarebytes good?
      I installed it automatically since I have Lookout on my mobile... Does it also detect adware, ...?

      You said: 
      since I got my Lookout mobile

      It should be stated that your sentence was neither clear nor understandable, you should have said "since I installed Lookout on my mobile, does it detect adwares" and then I would have understood; as for Lookout, I do not know if that is indicated anywhere on their site.
      Have a good evening.
