Malware

Are there any viruses or other malware affecting the Droid RAZR Maxx HD that are known about? I have been having some problems with performance and I was hoping to save time by asking if you are aware of things I should know.. Thanks in advance!

What you need to do is to check out some of the ad blocking/anti malware apps available for download from the Google Play Store.

I have a bunch of links I won't bore you with that talk about all the possible malware that can attack Android. (iOS too). It isn't phone specific. A good anti virus app would help but if you think you may have a problem a great app called Malwarebytes is available for android here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.malwarebytes.antimalware

Lee is completely right about Malwarebytes.

Thanks for the advice. I will let you know if it finds anything.

I never use this type of stuff on phone or tablet.
If yoiu think you have an issue, install it, run it, delete it. IMO.

Can I weigh in?

Why not?

No malware detected. I did a soft reset and the phone seems better. Thanks again!
