Android Central Question
I have an S8. It had been working well until about a month or two ago. I started receiving random pop-up ads that took the form of different variations. They would be at the top of the phone, or a floating circle that would randomly pop up on my screen, a huge pop-up that took the entire window and had an X mark at the top, or a fake lock screen.
What I've seen with them is that they are usually from AdChoices, and the floating circles are usually redirecting me to articles.
I have tried multiple antivirus apps, as well as attempted to find solutions online. Factory reset is something I don't want to do, and would want to stay away from as much as possible. The problem's gotten annoying, and I hope there's a reasonable solution out there. Thanks. If preferred, I can send screenshots as to what these adwares look like.
