Your computer is infected from all those porn sites you went

Since I only went to sites purporting to give advice on sharing links on facebook, none of which had any porn (unless advice on how to navigate facebook *really* turns you on) I ignored this message that obliterated a facebook link.
If my tablet explodes as threatened (diagnostics say its where it always is, about 3/4 of the way to excellent health) I guess I was wrong.

Evil Hacker message only seems to pop up when I'm looking at "gallery" (that's photos on this tablet; mostly me & my cat, as camera's such crap) on wifi.

I'm betting that the cat has been looking at kitty porn while you're not home. Don't blame the cat, probably in all innocence Googled "pussy grabbing" thinking it had something to do with feline safety and the links went on from there.

I would be closer to believing this clickbait if the writer's control of English grammar was a little better.
My cat can't post or surf the internet because I never let him near the tablet. Especially since I was stupid enough to sign onto Amazon's one-click (or paw-touch) shopping.
Back in the days of the real monitor & keyboard, a previous cat did post. Most mysteriously.

In a similar vein, we got a phone message today that the IRS was going to come lock us up.

Well, lilclyde54, they've *got* to collect you before those cuts go through, making you legal.

In real life, I downloaded Malwarebites because people with Androids said good things about it. Couldn't get it to work as advertised, other than telling me I had 2 real threats & 3 lesser threats, but giving me no way to remove them.
Meanwhile, Lookout, which it turns out came installed & is what runs whenever I'm on wifi (I've set upgrades to run only under wifi because they suck data) tells me I'm fine.
I've deinstalled Malwarebytes for the time being. At the installation it had warned "is not cusomized for your platform" or similar words.
Something on here is sucking up data points, though.
