I've been experiencing a frustrating issue on my phone for a while now. It frequently opens pop-up windows leading me to random advertisements. The worst part is that these ads have their own windows, and when I check the window name, it's linked to the ad itself. I've tried various methods to fix this, including running malware checkers and adjusting settings in Chrome, but nothing seems to work. I've even uninstalled apps and looked for any malware-infected applications, but I'm out of ideas. If anyone has suggestions on how to resolve this, I'd really appreciate it!

From what you've described, this ad window might be related to a browser issue. You could try checking your browser settings or even clearing your browser cache. Sometimes, resetting them can help get rid of the problem.
Have you tried removing your most recently installed apps? It's possible that one of them is the culprit. If you can, uninstall any suspicious apps and see if that stops the ads.
You might want to consider doing a factory reset on your phone. That can help eliminate any persistent malware. If you're comfortable with it, you can even reinstall the operating system using a computer to really get a clean slate.
The ads keep showing up in their own window, and it’s really annoying!
It looks like your phone’s getting hijacked by some browser ad. You might want to take a screenshot of what it shows when the ads pop up, so you can identify the app or site causing it.
I've checked Google Play, and even though some apps have bad ratings, I can't uninstall them because they are system apps like Android Auto.
