annoying pop ups in Chrome and redirects to the play store

[RanjanInd]

I have successfully solved simillar problem faced by me. I was getting a new tab on chrome randomly with url starting like http://mobiprofit<some other url part> and which finally redirected to different sites meaning adware.

I have solved the issue by installing QuickHeal free version. You need to register free, update virus definition , run full scan and remove the flagged apps. Hopefully it will solve the issue just like in my case. It has been more than 24 hours and I no unwanted popup encounteted.

I just started having the same problem. I'll be following this thread to see if anyone comes up with a solution. Glad I'm not the only one.

I went to the Google forum as suggested above, didn't find anything useful.

Try the Addons Detector

Addons detector found nothing.

i just tried the earlier suggestion of looking at the chrome settings, there were some weird ad type things listed. hopefully deleting them and disallowing 3rd parties will do the trick.

It's an app. Try uninstalling apps you last installed one by one till it doesn't happen again.

I solved the problem on mine. I used the Stopbadapp app from the play store. It was an mp3 app I had. Deleted it and the problem was solved

To stop chrome ads
Go to settings
Go to site settings
Storage
Clear all site storage
No annoying ads

You can try:

Settings (in Android's menu)
Apps
Show system (in "..." at upright corner)
Preinstall Data2
Force stop, disable.
Storage, clear data, clear cache (this step may not shows visible results).

Hope it helps.

A few weeks ago I started to get these annoying virus like pop ups at random times. It's usually when I unlock my phone. It will open to chrome to a Web page that looks like Facebook saying I won a prize. The latest Web page is androidmax.mobi. The Web pages change from time to time but always end with .mobi. I Googled for a fix but can't find anything. It also at other times when I unlock or just random times open the play store to different games. This is extremely annoying. I haven't installed any new apps lately either but to just be safe I've deleted everything I've downloaded in the past couple months and still comes up. I've cleared cache and data on the play store and chrome too. It seems to stop for a few hours but always comes back. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi I found the solution to this problem. Just install easy uninstaller app. Go to the app. At the bottom u will see a app without any name or image. Uninstall that app. If it shows any permission denied just grant that permission and delete the app. Problem solved. Atleast for me.

I had this issue on my note 2 before I got the S6. I did numerous factory resets to try and fix it but after a few days it always come back. From other threads I've found on this topic online everyone says factory reset did not solve the problem

Boot phone in safe mode. Go to apps in settings. Scroll down to bottom till you see an app without icon or name. Uninstall it. Boot to normal mode. Clear catche if you want. You're good to go. Worked for me right now

Thanks, it's working, I just go directly to app list without entering safe mode.. I remember how I got infected,try to install Gb whatsapp, but the site give smaller apk package that contains virus.
