Internet browser opens with ads every time i unlock screen

I just updated the Android OS on my galaxy s4 and ever since then, every time i unlock my screen and occasionally just randomly the Internet browser opens with an advert about teeth. I can't seem to disable it no matter what i do and it's driving me mad. Please help! !

To remove the application causing the pop-ups just follow the steps:
1. Go to Settings --> Apps and Notifs --> App info
2. Filter All Apps
3. Scroll down up to the last Application, it should have a blank title, uninstall it.
4. [Optional] Don't download on malicious sites specially which don't have https.

Download malwarebytes. Avast, go and everything else couldn't find it on my phone. Malwarebytes did.

I had this problem since yesterday and i couldnt find the source, but i kept searching and found an app installed but WITHOUT A NAME this raised suspicion when i force stopped it everything went back to normal thats when i uninstalled.

Be careful when installing apps some of them try to hide as this one i got.

Actually I also had the same issue and found an app without any name but had a size of 15mb. I uninstalled it and my phone went back to normal. Thanks for sharing.

My friend had the same problem and found out it was an app that caused it. The app had no name or an icon and was located at the bottom of the app list. Once he unistalled it, it worked fine.

Dude thanks a lot as you said I downloaded the go security software and I scanned popped out virus I hit uninstall said adminstaror so I deactivated it and uninstalled it and it worked no more of this crap , again the a lot dude this was pain in the a**

Go to manage apps and go to very last app that doesn't have a name and delete it. I jus figure it out

Just use "Popup Ad Detector-Detect ad showing outside of app" from the Google Play store. It just works.
