Why do I have popups and redirects to unwanted websites?

Popups and redirects to unwanted wesbites

Hi guys,

I often get my page loads interrupted and my stock internet browser redirected, offering me subscription services.

AurPush Detector hasn't found any responsible apps and I can't determine if there's any particular website I visit that triggers it to pop up.

Any ideas? Any help much appreciated!

Use CM Browser instead of the stock browser, better yet, set it as your default browser.

Google play blocks ad blockers now, but can still install manually. Grab the above file, click thanks for the dev, and enjoy no more pop ups.

Try using Firefox with the add-ons. Bookmark sites then open them up in Firefox. The add-on "ghostery" prevents redirects, no cookies, no trackers.

You need to be rooted to use AdAway (link you posted). If you are it is a great Ad Blocker, just a heads up.
