Hello!
I'm looking for help - and you seem to be the right bunch of people who might help me, hopefuly!
I've got fairly modern mobile Samsung Galaxy S9, I don't install too many apps but rather stick to what I use + some games downloads from google play each month that I never have time to play.
And now, for the last week or so I started getting full screen pop-ups (google & tapjoy), the type of what you would get in games, often with 5sec timer in a corner, however I started getting them even when I don't have any app started! I scanned mobile with Kaspersky, Symantec, Malwarebytes and Samsung protection integrated Mcaffee and all came back clean!
I even restarted my mobile and the only and first thing I opened up was your Malwarebytes app to have it scanned again at clean boot - but the pop up came up again! On the task-switcher it always has an icon of active app so I cannot tell what is the root app that triggers it, i.e. in this case it had Malwarebytesapp icon....
On the top of that, in Chrome every now and again when I just try to search with google, it gets redirected to cse.google.com/cse?cs=... which I think started happening around same time.
I'm super annoyed, being paranoid I will ultimately reinstall Android from scratch as I can't trust my phone any longer and I do banking with it (amongst other things) but before I do that I would be very interested to hunt down the guilty app and at least have it detected which might help other users too and prevent those $%^! from installing again
Your help will be much appreciated
