problem:
-ads pop up randomly
-when i pressed the "X" button on the ad, it automatically downloads an app (sometimes the app that downloads can be seen in google play store and sometimes its not.) or it would pop up a "choice of what app to be used before installing (e.g avg antivirus)"
-I searched for solutions on the net and tried some of it and it didnt work.
-I used malwarebytes antivirus and stopbadapp and detects lots of adwares and malwares. but the phone system considered them as system apps. and the antivirus can't remove them and needs a root privilege to do the task. but i'm worried because they say that rooting phone would cause my device to be more vulnerable to attacks. what shall I do?
 
Some malware injects itself as system apps by being granted temporary root. A hard reset will just restore them so you will need to flash your device with the correct firmware to get your device working properly again
