How Can I Stop These Annoying Ads? by pukena(m): 6:40pm On Mar 30, 2018 |
Hello experts in the house, Please I can hardly use my phone for a minute without pop up ads covering my screen. It's becoming annoying. As in even without opening a website, ads would just pop up my home screen. What could be the problem. I leave my data on all the time. Could this be the reason? Sometimes, to close these ads could be difficult. I would have to restart my phone. Is this virus? Please I would appreciate any answer that points me to a solution fast. Google must be crazy to flood me with unsolicited ads! |

It must be something you installed on your phone. Are you using any launcher or did you download a theme? |

pukena: Go to your data usage and find the app that is consuming most data and disable background data. Also download an effective antivirus and run a full scan |

It's not Google, most likely you've downloaded an app that permits third party ads........I'd check my downloaded apps to confirm if I were you. pukena: |
