I downloaded a customization app from Google play and I was then infected with this pesky redirect virus. I've created cache, cleared chrome settings as well aso running Zemana. It tells me I have no infections but I continue to be plagued by this homepage redirect. I have no other sympomsymptoms, this is the only one.

I would appreciate any and all assistance!

It seems an adware..annoying enough, try with MalwareBytes for Android that performs very thorough scans.
Plus uninstall and reinstall Chrome.

Neither has worked :( Both claimed I have no infections but the page still insists upon opening everytime I open chrome.

Okay seems to have been resolved now! Uninstalling chrome fixed it. But yes, all scans said no infections. I forgot about reinstalling chrome.

All is well now, thank you all very much for your help, it is truly appreciated :)

For anyone else who might experience my problem, the site popped up every time even if I closed all tabs of my chrome before restarting the browser.

Hi,

Can you please help me, I own a galaxy s5 and got a malware, I keep getting redirect on any browser, opera, adblock plus, Samsung default, foxtor, anything.
Plus I get redirect right inside flipboard and tuiter.
I search an app, nothing is there.
I already try avira, eset, Norton, malwarebytes, Trojan remover, avast and some other I can't remember and nothing everything its clear and nice.
I already try to hard reset my phone, cleaning cache and didn't work, so I flash rom the whole thing it didn't work either.

Please I need some suggestions, I'm desperate
