Basically: Browsing on the internet gives me strange popups.
Such as
"Your android has been infected wih a virus. Press ok to remove it now."
"Your android has been infected with (3) viruses from adult websites please install blablabla..."
You know the kind of popups I am talking about. Started fairly recently, dont remember visiting any weird sites, and I usually try to check apps reputation before installing them.
One of them even opens up a play store page to clean master. (Which makes me kind of wonder if I can still trust the playstore on my phone)
Nonetheless, no matter how I got it. I am pretty sure I do have some malware or worse on my phone.
Steps I tried:
-Install some anti virus and anti malware programs, such as norton, avast, avg and others.
Nothing was found, but the popups remained. Decided to do a factory reset... And theres the weird part, after the factory reset, the problem persisted.
(Bloody hell?)
Before you say its probably a site-related issue, I can assure you it happens on multiple sites which are fairly reliable.
Anyone out there with a possible solution? This seems to be one persistant bugger and I cant find any real info on this.
