"malicious virus infected phone", will "permanently destroy battery" & download this free thing immediately. I did download the new security cleaning app, but I am tech challenged.. I don't know if I did goood or not. Just thought I'd mention, in case others have an issue.

PS.my internal wth alarm went off, reading "permanently destroy".. where I'm from, if something is destroyed, that's pretty much PERMANENT.
