Hello,
recently I installed a firware rom for my tablet and everything was OK until one day, when opening certain websites (not porn sites and never been there), Chrome randomly will popup a message to download some PornFactoryApp_25.apk(other browsers are OK).
What I did is reflashed the ROM, but before that I completelly reformatted the boot and the system partition and nothing helped to get rid of Chrome asking to download scuh porn app.
1. Is it possible that the ROM is infected?
2. Maybe coincidence that certain websites are not ad free and something redirects them to this link
3. Can I find the source of Chrome answering to this app download request?
4. Can I somehow track the link from where it gets the request to download such porn app?
5. Is it possible that part of the boot is infected and cannot be reformatted in no way?
Please if someone is eager to find solution, this woukld be great.
Thanks

Hi,
When we download an app from Market on phone, its download starts in the background. I assume its happening over normal HTTP/HTTPS connection.
For large apps, like games, its impossible to download apps on phone due to poor network connectivity like EDGE/GPRS.
Is there any way to get the actual HTTP download URL, which can be used on PC, to download the .apk if we know the Market URL?
Thanks!

Everything is done directly through the market. All links are hidden within the market. If you do some searching you might be able to find the apks, but if an update comes out, you will have to search and download the update manually.
If you use qrdroid it will give you the market URL

That's pretty common these days, any time you're browsing on Internet, it automatically downloads Mobogenie.apk because it is an advertisement. The website owners are paid for such downloads, so whenever you visit that particular website, these type of downloads begin automatically as they are sponsored.
Disabling hmm... avoid those websites, or maybe you're clicking on illegitimate download links which causes this problem (Seen many websites with 100s of download buttons in a single page - so confusing!)

Hi.
Also had this problem surfing on XDA.
Automatic download of Mobogenie and redirecting to Play Store.
With a clean flash of my rom without restore of my apps it seems to be gone, so far.
So it could have been some of my apps causing this.
Thanks

Only on my Chinese tablet, not on my Nexus 5.

lol funny popup
clean your phone and only put on apps that came with the phone from the factory.
check to make sure the problem is gone.
try installing only a couple extra apps at a time until you figure out which one is causing the problem. im betting its an app that did not come from the play store.

I searched on net and found that tradeexhange is a malicious site it puts its malware in many browsers and hence it was redirecting
I uninstalled all the browsers and now its working fine
Hey everyone,
I'm new here and I am hoping y'all can help me out. I recently started getting onclick redirect ads on my S6. I get them in Chrome, Dolphin, Maxthon Browser as well as apps such as Smartnews and bleacher report. These redirect ads are prompted only when I open a new link. They do not happen 100% of the time I open a new link and they do not redirect spontaneously. I have no other pop up ad issues to speak of. The only online browser that does not get the redirect ads is Opera Mini. I started getting these ads about a week ago but I had not downloaded any 3rd party apps. I download exclusively from the app store. After scouring the internet for advice I tried the following without success:
1) delete all recently downloaded apps
2) Clear cache and delete history in my internet browsers
3) Factory reset for phone settings
4) Change the DNS in case it was an infected router
5) Use multiple antivirus/malware programs
At this point in time I got desperate and decided to format the phone. After formatting the phone I did not allow it to download any apps. I opened chrome and still had the redirect ads. I started using my old phone to browse the internet because I was tired of the redirect ads. I turned on my S5 and found that I had the same redirect ads. This is the first time I have used my S5 in over a year and I did not have this issue the last time I used it. After finding the redirect ads on my S5, I was worried that it was somehow related to my google account. I formatted my S6 for a second time and created a brand new google account. I still have the redirect ads.
tdlr; I have formatted my phone multiple times, I have tried every piece of advice I have come across and I still have redirect ads on my S6
Any help would be great. I am at my wits end. Thanks in advance.
Hi everyone
Need some advice please, my phone (HUAWEI MATE 9, Android 9, Stock) has recently become the victim of some nasty browser hijacking / malware, where whenever i browse or just use my phone in general, the browser would open and random redirects to ad sites would occur.
At first i thought it was just Chrome, then i disabled it and downloaded FireFox, but the issue still occurs.
It also randomly happens with general usage, one moment you will be browsing your photo gallery, the next the browser launches and re-directs you to one of these ad sites, and is incredibly annoying.
I have not downloaded any dodgy apps or installed from apk's.
Things i have tried
- Ran Malwarebytes Scan = No issues found.
- Cleared Browsing history and cookies for Chrome.
- Installed a completely different browser.
- Disabled personalized Ads setting within my Google Account.
Any help advice to remove this will greatly appreciated, my phone is however not rooted and running stock firmware, and don't really want to resort to a factory reset.
Thanks in advance

Boot the device into safe mode and use it for a while in safe to see if the issue still occurs. If it does not have the issue while using safe mode, the issue is being caused by something that you installed. If it still continues to have the issue while using safe mode, the issue is being caused by something that was factory installed.
