My Android phone has been hijacked by gestyy.com adware/malware. How can I remove it? It keeps opening its page at random. Any fix for this except the classic stuff we do on Chrome???

Hey Nikkx1,
Are you seeing this redirect on a specific site or on all sites that you visit? What phone are you using? Are you connected to the Wifi when this redirect happens?

Let's reset Chrome to its default settings:

1. Open your device’s “Settings” menu, then tap on “Apps”
2. Find and tap on the Chrome app.
3. Tap “Storage”.
4. Tap “Manage storage”.
5. Tap “Clear all data”.
6. Confirm by tapping “Ok”.

Hi,

this redirect happens randomly while using other apps or FB, messenger, Chrome etc. . I use a Leagoo S8 pro, 6 GB ram for the last two years without any problem. Your tip does not work. It keeps opening every let's say 15 minutes....
