Help AdChoices popups appear over paused video in Gallery

[Ad Choices Infection]

I was able to run a scan that identified the likely culprit (hopefully I'll find a way to get that screenshot attached), but don't want to pay $19 to upgrade WA Security to have it remove the bad file. Any suggestions?

Is Package Installer something I need to remove then? WA recommended I root my phone if I choose not to buy their upgrade.

IMO, WA Antivirus in itself is a virus/scam to get your money.

uninstall it and most likely your problem will go with it.

I never, ever, click on any of that crap that appears on the bottom of the screen. all of it is a scam to get your money.

I can see that from the constant prompting to go one step further in membership...

But the issue was there before I installed WA; that was an effort at fixing it.

Try Malwarebytes from the Play Store. Also look at Addons Detector.

Malwarebytes didn't fix it. I can look into Addons Detector.

Another thing to try is to go to you App manager and find the Web browser that you use and Force Stop, clear Cache and Data, then reboot
