Computer Help and Support

Theory one is that a pre-installed game that had never said a word to me before all of a sudden decided to send this notification. I checked all my games, and the ones that I had installed myself were not allowed notifications, but a few of the pre-installed ones had notifications allowed but had never bugged me. When I install something myself the first thing I do is turn off notifications unless I want them, but I hadn't thought about any of the pre-installed stuff unless it brought itself to my attention.

Theory two is that some hacker has come up with a way to send you fake notifications. That is a scary thought. However, I can't think of any way that I would have given anyone an opening to do that. I do try to be careful.

Every virus and malware app that I ran said I was fine, but I'm going to check and see if there's any such thing as a web scan for phones like there is for computers.
