Android Central Question

I have an app that opens an advertisement (the same one mind you) , every 2-3 seconds (as long as I keep closing it) preventing me from things like entering searches or keying in new numbers... for instance,
i will tap the search area
[ad opens , I close it]
re-tap the search area and I am lucky get one letter typed
[ad opens , I close it]
type second letter for search
[ad opens , I close it] ad opening must have beaten me to the tap.
re-type second letter for search
[ad opens , I close it] etc...

The ad is full screen, and has an "info" button that displays the maker's name "startapp" and if you persist it displays what best I can tell is a "disclaimer" that the company startapp was employed by another to do this to your phone so don't blame them... really can't tell because the ad keeps opening as I try to read it.
I've tried Greenify, and All tools to no avail, also taped 7 times on the build to open the other menu and tried killing running processes blindly (because none of them are named anything recognizable as connected in some way.
