    Can a non-smart phone get a virus?
    My phone is acting quite peculiar.It's running quite slower on the web and when I get on Yahoo! It comes up as Yahoo! Internationale and comes up in a strange European language. Also when I go to privacy settings under Authenticity Certificate it says that the connection is not secure.

    Yes, but unlikely.
    What is the actual device and when was the last time you completely reset it to factory defaults ?

    Okay good to know. It's a Verizon Intensity 2. I've had the phone for about three months and I've never performed a reset or restore on it.

    Also I've heard that if you're using a proxy Yahoo! Will give you your homepage based on IP address, so if I'm here in the States why on earth is it giving me Dutch (I think) as my home screen? I'm prone to worrying about things but I find this really out of place.
