Why do I keep getting pop up ads?

[Android Central Question]

Regardless of which app I am on, every couple of minutes my Samsung Internet browser opens a random ad webpage. My phone is a Galaxy S8 and it is getting very annoying. The ads used to pop up on Chrome until I disabled the app, at which they started popping up on Samsung Internet. I have the latest software update running, all my apps are updated and I even downloaded an antivirus to make sure if there was any virus but it does not seem so. How can I stop that?
