HELP - adtrack.king

hey guys been having an issue with my phone.
Going on the browser I keep getting directed to.
http://adtrack.king.com
Then I takes me directly to the iTunes store and wants me to purchase candy crush.
I thought it might be a bug in Chrome and disabled it, installed Dolphin and doing the same thing not as bad though.

I saw a video online to install AMC Security by IObit and to look for teh app called network and uninstall. That app is not present on my phone. I also saw to look for one called lookout and it isn't there either.

Samsung S5 5.0 Lollipop Verizon

Welcome to the forums. Did the issue come up right away after you loaded Dolphin? It might be linked to an app that you already have.

I'd first try clearing your history/cookies/cache in Chrome, and see if it still persists.

Odds are though that it's related to an app you have installed on your phone. I'd go through and uninstall any apps you recently installed and check your browser after each uninstallation. You'll find the culprit eventually.

No, I haven't downloaded any apps. From what I read it is coming over browser.
This is annoying as heck. Why can't they figure this crap out.

I was having the same issue on my client that has an S5
What help with the issue was uninstalling "music maniac pro" which was the last app he installed.

The issue no longer persist

If you have that app remove it and check if the problem continues

Good luck
