hi guys welcome to one two three and in
this video we will show you how to stop
popups on your Android device okay guys
so you've been browsing the web on your
Android device and suddenly for no
reason you are getting pop-up ads now I
turned on some of the ad features on my
Android phone and here are some of the
ads that have started appearing so the
first ad was gas bottles which is not
really important to me and the next one
is tarot card reading which also I don't
really need and the next one was hiring
private offices so all these ads don't
really apply to me it's not something
I'm after the other annoying thing about
these ads too is they go full screen so
you can't actually get out of the ad
until you press on it I know otherwise
if you press back a couple of times it
will actually get you out of the ad and
that could be the really frustrating
thing about these ads so I have created
four steps for you to try and remove the
pop-up ads I suggest trying the first
step and then test your Android device
and see if that step works for you if it
doesn't come back to this video and try
the next step also I'm doing these steps
on my Samsung device if you have a
different Android device your menus
might be a little bit different but the
steps should be the same the first step
is to clear your browser data and make
sure your pop-up blockers are turned on
for whatever browser you are using on my
device I use both the default browser
and Google Chrome so this means I'll
have to change these settings on both
browsers alright so the first step here
is to open up your browser and just go
into the settings part of your browser
whichever browser you use scroll down to
privacy and security and then just go
down to delete browsing data we're just
gonna clear the cache and delete our
cookies and any site data browsing
history next just go back out of that
menu and we're looking for sites and
downloads and press on that and then
we're just going to make sure our pop-up
blocker is toggled on
once that's done there we just want to
go back out of that browser and we want
to go into our chrome browser all right
use the three
at the top and then settings so we're
doing the same thing in our Chrome
browser just scroll down to where you
see site settings find your pop-ups and
redirects just make sure that's turned
on as well
okay scroll down and go into ads and
just turn off your ads if that's on
because it will show misleading ads so
you just want to turn that off next up
we want to turn ad personalization off
and we can do this by going into the
settings on your phone then scroll down
to where it says accounts and back up go
into accounts tap on your account go
into the tab that says data and
personalization and then scroll down to
where it says add personalization now if
it's off you want to just turn it back
on and then we can turn it back off
again and then make sure you turn it off
and when you turn it off you have this
other option called visit your online
choices select that one
you
okay so once that's complete just scroll
down to the bottom and hit continue
alright and then it will show you a
whole list of other advertisers that you
can opt-out of so these are other
advertisers that can advertise on your
phone just select opt-out all and you go
down the bottom there you can just opt
out of those advertisers okay so that's
done there now and if you want to find
out more or understand a bit more about
what you've done you can click on the
understand your choices can have a bit
of a read there next you can tap on view
updated results and that will show you a
list of all the advertisers that you
have opted out of next go into settings
then go down to your Google account then
go into ads and just make sure that opt
out of ads personalization is turned on
okay so step two is to remove recently
installed apps and we can do that by
going into settings and then down to
apps or app management then just go
through and try and find the app that
you want to uninstall so in this case
the last one we installed was Geekbench
so I'm just going to show you how to
uninstall that now hit for stop and then
for stop again uninstall and then just
press ok when you uninstall all right so
the app is gone now so just go through
and test it and see if you are still
getting the ads popping up after the
uninstall step 3 install malwarebytes
malwarebytes is an app that can identify
and remove malware from your Android
device go to the Play Google comm site
and download and install it and we can
find that but just typing in now we're
bytes
okay so I've already got it installed so
I'm just gonna press open and the app is
going to start up okay so once it starts
up there the first thing you're going to
need to do is fix some issues so the
first thing you'll need to do is update
the database version so simply just
press on that and you'll be able to
update it once the database version is
updated you can go across to
scare now and just scan your Android
device and see if you can find any
malware on your device that could be
causing the popups
okay so malwarebytes doesn't find any
malware on my samsung galaxy device
which is good news which means there's
nothing to do here however on my Oppo
phone it did find some threats so this
is what it would look like if you did
find some malware on your phone you can
go ahead and select all items or
deselect all items and however this
touch powerful Oppo seems to be a
legitimate program so I'm not going to
remove it for now if you find some
malware on your device try googling at
first to see if it's meant to be on your
device or not if it's not go ahead and
remove it and hopefully that will remove
the ads that keep popping up on your
Android device ok guys so you've tried
all the other steps and you're still
getting pop-ups coming up on your
Android device ok so the last step that
we're going to do now and this is step 4
backup data and reset your Android
device and the first part of this is to
do a backup of all your data on your
Android device so you can do this by
going into settings scroll through until
you find your accounts and backup menu
go into backup and restore
next turn on backup my data make sure
your automatic restore is turned on and
then the next thing you'll need to do is
select a backup account where you want
to backup your data to once your Android
device has finished backing up just go
into your Google account and just double
check all the data is there before you
go to this next step of resetting your
phone back to factory defaults ok so the
last part of this step here is to go
into your settings go into general
management going to reset and then press
on factory data reset this is going to
reset your Android device back to
exactly how it was when you first
purchased the Android device so all the
data will be wiped and hopefully those
but ads will also be wiped from your
device so tap on factory data reset and
then have a read through of what data
will be erased from your Android device
and then hit reset put in your PIN code
and then your device will be set back to
factory defaults also guys if you want
