Default Browser Redirection

[Inquiring_Mind]

I own a Samsung Galaxy S5
Accidentally downloaded the Pinterest App from Google Play and uninstalled it.
Since the whole Pinterest install/uninstall the Samsung Galaxy S5 default browser redirects to Google Play to download apps.

EXAMPLE:
I will Goggle a friend who I know is on Instagram.
From Google search returns, I will click on that friend's iInstagram link and instead of taking my to my friends Instagram account, how it did so in he past, I am redirected to Google Play to download the Instagram app, which I don't want.

I have Norton Mobile Security Version 3.13 on my phone, comes with Anti-Malware. Unsure why Samung Galaxy S5 default browser is doing this.

Any advice/suggestions is greatly appreciated (however, wiping my device by factory reset is not an option).
Thank you in advance!

Try Settings > Default Applications > Play Store (clear) and see if that resolves the issue.
