AccuWeather "award" keeps popping up

[AC Question]

When I use the search browser,a a page keeps popping up claiming I have won an award and it will not let me leave the page. It claims it is acuweather and I am getting award for having T-Mobile. Do I have a bug?

It sounds like an advertisement. To be safe, backup your data and perform a factory reset.

There's an app, possibly accuweayher, but not likely, waiting for you to open the browser. If you have an app by that name installed you can uninstall it or disable it to see if the problem stops. If you don't have that app, open your app drawer and sort by recent. The problem is probably one of the first 5 apps to appear there. I would go to the Play Store and look each one up then read the 1 & 2 star reviews for each to see if others are complaining about this problem. You're also looking for apps with less than 3.5 stars, apps with just as many 1 star reviews as 5 star reviews.
