[Lash Ruth]

hi,
I'm new to this forum, and Ive searched this topic and haven't found it on here.
My galaxy s4 keeps popping up ads like dating ads and used car ads and ads from the Google play store for apps to download.

You should check in the settings to see what apps or programs are running in the background.

Where and when did you get the phone? It's possible this is from whatever carrier you're on.

Factory reset the phone and stop play store from auto downloading APPs. Re install apps one at a time

Not everyone is up for rooting. People should try all alternatives before they decide to resort to that.

Interesting. I used AdBlocker on my unrooted S4 and it worked just fine.
