Full page popup ads

[bengalmon]

Why am I now getting full page popup ads on my Samsung S8. They popup on my phone while I'm surfing or making a call or or looking for an app. They don't seem to be related to any action I'm doing on my phone and they advertise anything from hernia support to major car brands and everything in between.

Have a look at the free NoRoot Firewall app at the PS.

You can allow or deny wifi and/or data web accesses to your phone on an app by app basis. This will allow you to determine which app(s) are the cuprit(s).

Once you find the culprit app(s), you can then further refine allowing/denying web accesses by the app(s) on a URL by URL basis. This will allow you to isolate which URL is sending the unwanted crap.

A pretty cool little app which I use the hell out of.

Nows your time to drive a new Lincoln! While you're here, stop in for a free hernia check up!

If you don't need a new Ford or a hernia check-up, check any "free" apps or games you've recently installed or have updated.

Thanks I'll give both of your ideas a try
