How do I stop pop up ads from appearing on galaxy s6 edge plus without having to factory reset

[AC Question]

I am getting I pop up ads on my phone constantly... To install games and apps etc.... Already ran Antivirus scans and installed a few other things. Sometimes it goes crazy and changes screens by itself and says I supposedly have a virus etc. Really don't want to have to do a factory reset. Please help!!

Does this persist in Safe Mode?

Basically remove the app that is causing it. You may want to try uninstalling and reinstalling apps in batches to find which one is causing trouble.

Remove the apps you installed recently. From my experience "Amazon," "Yahoo Mail," and "iHeart Radio" are the worst offenders.
