AC Question

I'm getting constant ad pop-ups in Chrome with the footer "Ads by LaSuperba." Searching online, I can find a few pages about removing this malware from Windows, but nothing at all about Android.

I've tried a few anti-malware apps: Malwarebytes, Comodo Mobile Security, 360 Security. None have found anything (well, Malwarebytes just kept crashing halfway through the scan).

Has anyone encountered this? And does anyone know how I might have picked it up?
 
Welcome to Android Central! Do they only come up when you're browsing in Chrome? Do they seem related to certain websites? If so, avoid those sites. If it seems more random than that, try going to Chrome's settings and clear all the browsing data. For good measure, go to Settings>Apps>All, select Chrome, and Clear Cache/Data, then Force Stop. Now see if it persists.
 
If you find a fix, please post it here. Do you have a samsung, by any chance? I'm starting to believe that they're shipping the phones with adware.
