Hi, if you could help me out with this I would really appreciate it! I was wondering, is it possible to get a virus from just browsing a website on my phone or from downloading an image? I have the Sony Xperia Z1 and am also using Norton Security so that should warn me if something is wrong, right?

Before waiting for the malware appears suddenly, you should follow a few basic safety rules. We have compiled a list for you to keep your smartphone safe in most situations:
 
Not accept messages or files via Bluetooth by unknown
If you are using Bluetooth, in fact, better than disable it entirely
Do not install applications without checking its origin, especially if they are not signed
Where to jailbreak your iPhone, change the root password
If you have an Android I rooteado install Superuser for all application requests permission
Pages and download applications from trusted stores
As a general rule, do not run unsigned applications
Install a mobile antivirus for your platform
