Strangely we've had this post tonight already http://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Pay-Monthly-and-Pay-Go/Multimedia-messages/m-p/1020244#U1020244
I suggest AVG download and scan for any threats

Two on the same day can't be coincidental and I have already taken the steps in the video. There was actually another large update yesterday on my Note 4 for security and battery, that's the 2nd in around 6 weeks.

Thanks for that link @MI5

Hopefully just 2 coincidental isolated cases.

Yes hopefully , nothing coming up on Google or Android forums.....or maybe it's an o2 thing?

I would have thought all the latest devices would be patched by now anyway.

Yes for sure.
