I got a new Android phone the other day, and after putting some new apps on on top of the previously used and trusted apps I always have I started getting pop ups, even on main screen - not the usual ones you get playing games, a small box that has google play icon and "Play Free" notice and an "opt out" link. The link takes you to a website that prompts you to download an opt out app or opt out manually. I have done neither as it is very suspicious.
The link is

I've up dated to Avast mobile premium but nothing is getting rid of these pop ups. I installed CCleaner &, Airpush Detector and they didn't help either. I've uninstalled all recent apps like games and widgets except the one I have used for years. I installed Nova launcher and removed that too. If i disable wifi and data but even if it kills then because of no internet connection I can't leave them turned off. I've contracted Avast Mobile and they have so far only suggested I scan the phone which I have 5 times.
I don't want to fanny about resorting to factory settings but I know I might have to
Has anyone got any suggestions to get rid of these pop ups and ads??
Cheers in advance.
