    It could be adware attached to an app but not a virus per se

    google is now implementing full screen ads, so its possible you were using some apps that have such ads.

    What app were you using?

    Im not sure...it may be from a site i was using to watch live football games...i went on the site and it warned me, so i left...then this started happening. ..now im realizing as i type this, my phone freezes for a good couple seconds then it resumes...think ill just do an hard reset and stay off questionable sites lol

    okies, its easy to do hard reset right now, but may be more difficult later when you have more personal data on it.

    maybe install an AV app, like avast or AVG.

    Whenever that happens, don't push accept or decline. Go to your settings and force close your browser. Just a tip
