Can I get a malware by just clicking an ad? I did not install anything I even read that I need to install it to get the virus, it is true?

Yes, this is true. This is why it’s recommended to not install any third-party software. (But this is the beauty behind Android)
AVG is a free virus protection which you can get from the play store to protect your phone. It will automatically detect viruses on your phone
So it is true that the only way to get malware is to install it by myself, not just clicking it?
Sorry I didn’t answer, didn’t catch it at first.
Yes it is possible to get a virus from pop ups if you click on them .
Really? I have an android phone…
Yup. Android is awesome because it allows you to install whatever you want, but it comes at a price.
iPhones are pretty much virus free but don’t offer that kind of freedom.
Jeez, I dont know what to believe anymore. I read I only can get malware if I manually install it (at least on android) god!! Everything is so complicated!!!
Google is your friend, mate. Ask away

I installed Norton Security and Antivirus. It warns you about malicious website and links.
Install an anti-virus software as we all know for a fact that some websites is really risky.
