Hi. Not Fab related.
Does anyone know why I am getting ads on my mobile every 5 minutes or so?
Sometimes from places I have shopped in but others random.
I bought an Amazon Fire Max tablet and, as they are linked, was wondering if it was a virus on that which is causing it.
It's really annoying 
Any help or advice appreciate.
Thank you x |

"Samsung S22
Go into your notifications and see is amazon turned on.
I get them too if it is."
Just checked and it's not turned on. I went through the list and all looks OK.
This has just happened since I got the other device.
I downloaded games for my grandchildren and I think it might have a virus now.
My mobile has a virus checker on it and it is clear. |

If you've downloaded games you might also be paying a weekly fee against these games from your phone credit or on your bill if you have a bill pay phone
I'd delete the games |

I checked that and no fees thankfully.
I am just deleting the games now.
Thanks 👍 |

If you are using Chrome browser it can be linked to that. When you downloaded something it added adware called Chrome.exe which creates pop-up ads.
If you Google Chrome virus it gives instructions on how to reset your browser. |

"If you got a new phone and logged into Facebook it allows adverts for things you’ve searched on Google also. "
It's not a new phone but the Amazon tablet is new. I have deleted games and took advice from posts above. It seems a but better.
Thank you all for your help.
