When I click on internet sign on screen ie it looks like the world it directs me to a web page called porn hub. I have tried everything to get rid and can not. Will this require factory reset or is there some way to get shut it is not there if I click on Chrome, only on the link that is the world globe.
Samsung tab 3 gt 5210.
Any help would be fantastic,
Thanks,Rob.
 
Sounds like your browser has been redirected (assuming that that is the actual browser, and not just a shortcut to that site - if it does the same when opened from the app drawer rather than the desktop we can assume it is the browser I think. If it works OK from the app drawer then remove the icon from your desktop and replace it).

Have you cleared the browser's cache? Or even cleared data for the browser?
 
Chrome's equally vulnerable though. Most reports of this sort say that it's Chrome that has been hijacked and the other browser is OK - which I'm sure is just a reflection of which browser is used more rather than anything else. So it may be fine now, but visit the site that hijacked the other browser again and who knows?

So did the "etc" you cleared include the app's cache? If that doesn't work did you clear all data for the app? Check that your homepage setting in that browser hasn't just been reset to pornhub (I don't think a simple ad script should be able to do that, but it's worth checking)?
