Annoying page filling ads Chrome Android.

[Dennisch]

It's a phishing ad, and it happens randomly. How can I stop it from happening, since it just takes over the page I was visiting and the only way to get rid of it is to close the tab.

Is it possible to block the url in my router?

My colleague had this too and it looked like an installed app caused this. It was free2play game and after uninstalling that app she no longer had the problem. Maybe one of your apps is not so clean?

Had a simillar issue, It comes and goes still. I think my router had a virus.

It's changed your language to gobbledegook too. 👎

Indeed, if this just appears randomly whilst browsing and not on specific crappy websites with that sort of ad then it's very likely an app on your phone serving it up.

If it's an app, than it must be Clean Master. That's the only one that has been on my phone all the time.

I'll dump it and see how it goes.

More than likely.

Bit old, but they've probably not changed their ways. Besides even if it isn't that, you should remove it anyway. You don't need an app like than on Android.
