Galaxy S4 Samsung Internet keeps automatically starting all the time showing weblinks with adverts

[Android Central Question]

I cannot get this to stop.
Every 20 minutes or so, the resident Samsung Internet explorer starts by itself and it loads some tiny weblinks that then show adverts or animal rescue stuff etc.

I have in installed Malware bytes, several ad blockers but nothing changes this behaviour.

I also disable the Samsung Internet app but it makes no difference.

I check the app manager but nothing else is showing as running.
I check recent apps but it is usually just Facebook, Messenger Lite and ebay.

Is there really no way to see what is spawning the Samsung internet?
Or better even, How to stop it.

Any ideas or help is greatly appreciated
