Android basically a Trojan horse. February 4, 2015 8:12 pm bowser

I’ve never had such pervasive intrusions upon my browsing by ads.  It seemed to start when I started downloading android programs on my desktop and smartphone.

Android may be a good idea, but has been perverted, and well perverted, by folks with a very persistent adware.

May well be best to avoid.
