Hi goggp

This is not a Firefox for Android browser question since you are using the stock browser or google chrome ("mobile built in Internet browser,") , correct?

This forum is only for Firefox for Android.

As for the general topic of mobile device security and anti-virus, perhaps this will help as a starting point

If you have questions about Chrome or the Android stock browser or the Google Chrome operating system please contact Google support.

Also: 

I also don't think that "?gfe=rd=ctrl&ei=..." indicates a virus. that's just url parameters added on the end of a URL for tracking and other purposes. These url parameters are common industry practice from Google and others.
