Description:
Detected malicious code that targets only visitors that use mobile devices. Typically malware checks either User-Agent header or screen dimensions to determine whether a mobile browser is used.

Malware that targets mobile users may use rewrite rules in .htaccess files, server-side scripts (e.g. PHP, ASP, etc) or client-side script (e.g. JavaScript).
