So I was in my Chrome browser and at the bottom popped up a download notice. I clicked cancel as I didn't download anything. I noticed the download was for "internet.apk" so I typed "internet.apk" into Google to search, well I think it took it as a URL link and said "redirecting" and now my chrome browser is all kinds of screwed up.

What did I do??

Hmmm, never heard of this before. But you can try uninstalling it and then reinstalling it.

Haven't tried that yet. I want that to be last resort. I just hope I dont have a virus or something. What is "internet.apk" anyways?

Like I said, I'm not really sure. Why is uninstalling a problem?

Go to Settings -> Apps -> Downloaded tab. Is there anything in the list titled "Internet"? If so, tap on it and then tap Uninstall.

Anything else in that list that doesn't look familiar? Uninstall it.

Still no joy? Same list, tap on Chrome then Clear Data, Clear Cache, Uninstall Updates.
