Web browser open after screen unlock

[RickKlem]

Note 20, Verizon , Andriod Ver 11,

Whenever I unlock my screen the web browser will be open. It will be on random pages that I have never visited. It will include things like McAfee virus alert has detected that my phone is invective and I need to click button to clean, but I don't have McAfee loaded on phone. To Erectile Disfunction can be cured ads or Hollywood news updates.

I have cleared my cache several times, I have started deleting apps from the newest to the oldest. I have powered off the phone. Nothing I do will stop it. I know better than to click on one of the pages or buttons in ads, I just close them and move on but it has become annoying because it is there most of the time when I unlock the phone.

Any ideas of how to resolve other than what I have done? Is there a good app that I can use to clean up and protect the phone? Maybe an app that will detect the issue and kill it.

Thanks
Rick

I had to fix the same issue on my mom's phone. I was able to do it by clearing all browsing data for all time (Chrome as it's the browser she had on her Pixel 3). After MONTHS of fiddling with it and removing apps as you did, and eventually just disabling the browser since she didn't use it often, I finally decided to try that and it's been perfect since.
