Another thing that I just remembered is another step i took which was deleting the Facebook app which was on my phone, which had no noticeable effect, so i then took the further step of permanently deleting my Facebook account, which Facebook actually takes a month to complete, and at the time i ordered the termination Facebook advised that it would be effected on May 24th, which seems about the time I stopped seeing the ads, though this may be either coincidental (correlation instead of causation) or me being wrong about noticing just when the ads stopped. Again, not very helpful, and probab

I followed all the advice given by Nathan ( mbam_mtbr), and though I cant say with certainty exactly which step worked, I now notice that there are no ads. I believe it was after installing Ad-block plus, which i had some difficulty in doing, that the ads terminated, as disabling javascript appeared to have no effect whatsoever. I also followed the advice I saw on another forum of opting out of ads which some European agency for data protection allows users to do, opting out of ads from some 100 + providers, which also apparently had zero effect on the pop up ads. In any case my problem appear

These ads are THE worst, fullscreen ads that pop up irrespective of which app or browser you use, they pop up in their own browser apparently, Malawarebytes does not flag it for removal. Is there a Malawarebytes ADW version for Android, or does anyone know of a solution to remove this without having to factory reset? My kids have installed numerous apps on my mobile and I have no idea which app might be the culprit. I've uninstalled Facebook but it makes no difference. Any help would be sincerely appreciated.
