Full screen system ads

[maroonedcity]

Hey guys

I keep getting full screen ads on my phone. Multitasking shows them as 'system'.

I've run Malwarebytes and TrendMicro and they even play when all apps are closed.

I have no 'dodgy' apps and cannot work out how to get rid of them.

See attached.

Sounds to me like typical Samsung behaviour to me, I used to have a Galaxy S6 for work and it was the biggest POS I'd ever used and that was riddled with built in full screen ads.

That's interesting. Note 4, S7Edge, and now an S9+ and never an ad, not one.

Well the S6 did have Peel Remote installed so that might have been the cause.
