I am using C9 pro for last more than 2 years and I would say it is an excellent phone.
From yesterday evening onwards all of a sudden I started getting pop up ads by every about 5 minutes and it is continued till now. I am getting very much irritated. I spoke with Samsung customer care twice but somehow the issue is not resolved.
I then searched on the Internet and did many changes in Chrome n  Samsung Internet browsers's settings, but I am still getting pop up ads and now 10/15 seconds videos as well. It is soooooo irritating when pop up in between when I am in middle of something.
I installed ad blocker, it prevents pop ups from fully displaying but for a second screen becomes blank. And ads keep on coming. Those are not stopped. 
Samsung person says I have to reset the phone and that is the only option but I do not want to do that. Earlier in spite of taking proper back up and reinstalling it properly, I lost my important data. I want to avoid doing that.
CAN ANYONE HELP ME?
I want to stop the ads popping up only. 
PLEASE HELP.

Samsung ui doesn't have ad
clear the data of chrome or uninstall the unnecessary third party apps

Also look in the installed app section to find any strange app like without a proper icon?
