Very Annoying Ads

is it normal for phone advertisement to be very intrusive? because everytime i turn on my phone data, all my browser (browser that comes with the phone, opera mini, UC browser) open a certain site (something like trace.4link.com), not just that there are Ads who appears which covers the whole screen, if you click on it it downloads automatically, in the upper right there is a small close button, but the same thing happen, if you click on it, it still downloads.

is there a solution for this?
(dont misunderstand, I know people earning money through ads, and I understand that, but underhanded techniques just rile up my jimmies, its like click YES = download, click NO = download, theyre just giving me an illusion of choice)

 

Maybe u got malware or something

 

Definitely not common occurrence.

If all your browsers are doing this just from you turning on your data, it's probably malware.

 

Use the adblocker browser.

 

If it appears on all your browsers, I'll try to assume you have some sort of malware or virus on your phone.

 

No that is not normal; you has a malware.

 

Usually just close it, if you can't then force close the app, open it again and close the tab from which it came from

 

any advice on how to fix or remove said malware? thanks in advance.

 

how do i do that?

 

Simplest option is to do a factory reset.

Alternatively, use an anti-virus software.
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is a pretty popular choice, I think.

Or if you can, identify what's causing the problem yourself and remove it from your phone. To do what it does, it needs certain permissions on your phone. So that narrows it down somewhat. Usually not a feasible option. Too troublesome.

 

If it isn't your device that is causing the redirect to a different site, report the ad to this thread and fill it out correctly.

if I have that problem I just bring that to "doctor"
leave technical thing to those who competent on the field~

 

TBH,,, Wuxiaworld ads is literally killing me,, like i can barely even read a chapter, cuz stuffs keeps redirecting me to other sites plus the back button is useless, soo i need to close the damm tab and start over again...

 

I'd say note down any numbers in your phone that you need on Paper and perform a factory reset. Disable any form of scripting in your browser settings. Next time think harder about what websites you whitelist in whatever adblocking solution you choose, because drive-by malware delivered by otherwise legitimate ad networks has become a real problem nowadays. Adobe Flash is also a huge problem and should never be allowed to run without explicit permission from the end user every time, only ever allow Flash to run if you expect it to be actually neccessary for the page you're viewing to function.

 

I guees it's because you recent application. Just uninstall the recent one and restart the phone. wait for the moment. if it's still there uninstall the recent one again. until the adware gone. I experience it just like you did. sorry for my bad english

 

try uninstalling the most suspicious app on your phone, and try using a 3rd app (antivirus), well good luck

 

I install an anti-malware app and it found 4, but 1 cant be removed since it positioned itself in the system files.
