I bought a Galaxy S8 Plus on Black Friday, back in November.
Originally I did have simple little ads showing up around my home screen that were shaped like little inconvenient ornaments hanging over apps and such I needed to access but they weren't overly inconvenient because they'd disappear after a minute.
Today I've recently has an Ad for something called "Protective Circle" and it's persistent.
It pops up on my home screen, it pops up over my Samsung pay, it pops up when I access any app, and it DOES NOT HAVE AN 'X' CLOSE BUTTON. So you have NO choice but to click the screen, to which it will then take you to 'Play Store' and the app in question.
No matter what I've done (i.e. downloaded browser ad blockers, Samsung pop up blockers, etc) it continues to show up and make me inconceivably angry.
