Virus/Malware on Android phone ?

deadanonymau5

When I visited a site (for furniture shopping) I was redirected to another site (Games2Fan) which I know has some form of malware on it as when I try and go to it on my laptop, an Avast warning pops up.

Is it possible my phone (OnePlus One, CM11) is now infected? and is there anything I can do so the malware doesn't have access to my accounts(email, etc)?

I already have Avast and Lookout on my phone and when I scan it says my apps and settings are ok.

Any help appreciated!!

In my history on my phone one of the URLs is games2fan.com/#!/stealingyourhistory and also when my phone was redirected to the site it a pop up said that your phone the A0001 may have too many apps installed or something like that.

Good few sites seem to have awful rogue advertisements on their pages which redirect you to spam bullshít. If your phone is rooted you can use AdBlock Plus. If you're not rooted then it'll only block ads over WiFi. A workaround I use is to download the AdBlock add on for Firefox. Works a treat for me.
