Tradeexchange pop-up driving nuts

[hennie71]

Hey guys, any idea how to remove this from my Android phone? When I open chrome it suddenly redirects to tradeexchange and opens a bunch of Windows.

Clear cache and clear data for Chrome under Apps in settings.

Sounds like a virus/worm

I've cleared cache and data on chrome, I've cleared all history on chrome on the computer and reset the router to default settings. This tradeadexchange dot com still comes up. Super irritating.

Backup data and sms and contacts and whatever and factory reset phone?

 

[SYNERGY]

Delete any recently installed applications / games.

Install adware for Android and run a scan.

none of the above works

Throw phone into sea. Do not visit strange sites (pron) Do not load strange apk's.

eset antivirus.

you can install free version.

biggest difference between frree and premium - free one you must tell manually to update.

but before you do that go into chrome. look. under settings. And select the option that allows it to return to default settings (prob changed by virus/malware.

Dont believe you. Did you really factory reset you phone?

 

[howard geater]

Yes, 3 times with the same result.
As is no apps loaded, using phone data
If it was a desk top I would format and reinstall

Chrome extension that keeps reinstalling?

Damn, then it must have rooted your phone somehow.

Or what Sauron said.

Flash your phone with the original rom. XDA is good.

Why the need to create a new account though?

Move to Windows phone. Marketshare is so miniscule the baddies don't bother with malware.

Please explain how
thanks in advance

What is the model number of your phone?

What is the model number of your phone?

S4 Mini and a brand new Samsung J5
I think that the problem started when the contacts were copied over by Vodacom
Both Phones infected

 

[backstreetboy]

Why did you copy the contacts via Bluetooth and not let gmail sync it?
