iconadserve virus - Android General

Hey guys a friend of mine has a Samsung galaxy S7 edge, he has been upgrading the last 3-4 years his Galaxy series, and every time he gets a new phone he gets these browser short cuts that auto install. When you click them it takes you to iconadserve.com and then redirects you to book flights website. No matter how many times you wipe etc it keeps auto install these shortcuts. Has anyone heard of those and can help me get rid of them? Thanks
Pictures should be attached thanks

[Completed] Samsung galaxy S7 security bypass

So a month and a half ago I found a galaxy s7 in the street, since then I've advertised online and around town and have only got responses from thrives. After waiting long enough I've decided to try unlock it myself as it is blocked by the original owner, I was wondering if there is anyway of resetting it by fast boot commands or any other way ? Please help, shame to let such a good phone go to waste.

[Completed] Best apps to have downloaded when disconnection of my WiFi is imminent?

I feel so green here. I have a Samsung Galaxy S5, 6.0.1.. I love phones and apps and the net. I like to absorb as much as I can while tending to a big family and life lol.
My WiFi is going to be off for about a week. I am curious what apps or downloads would help me navigate through this upcoming lonely-without-my-WiFi or even allow me to have the ability to still be online without (no Data either)?
Also, I have not been able to root this phone yet. I'm frustrated about that in general but I assume it limits some of your suggestions.
Thanks for your help

Bumping your post repeatedly is not going to help. It's possible no one knows the answer or has run into the issue.
Have you tried clearing the data for the Galaxy App? What troubleshooting have you done so far?

Removing Chrome means browser won't work on Samsung s8

Hi
I've used a rooted phone for years in the past but not for the last phone that I had, so been away from rooted for over a year.... Now I have a Samsung S8 which has been rooted professionally for me... So I use Titanium Backup to freeze those annoying apps I don't want... I backed up all apps and wanted to see what would happen if I removed Chrome. Turns out if I do it this, I'm unable to use my Dolphin Browser...Just can't connect to the Internet.. So does this mean that now with these current phones all apps that are pre installed are inextricably linked to my chosen apps and the usage of the phone?
Hope this makes sense to somebody! If there is more information on what I can and can't remove I'd be grateful.. I did have a look around and couldn't find this specific question.
Thank you in advance for any help!
