  1. If while browsing you see a notification telling you that you need to clear your phone, it does not come from your phone but from the website. If you click on it, that's when malware is installed. Just leave the rogue site forever. If you ever once agreed to "clean your phone", I'm afraid that's where all that comes from.

  2. It seems that there is a proper way to root a device, that is reversible. I think Terry is right in principle, but if you need an "official" phone for a reason, maybe this could be a middle ground, locking it back after cleaning it up?

  3. I never activated it, mainly because the TOS are 3km long and only in German (on my phone brought in France), and selecting is disabled when I view them, so I can't use any translating software.
