Hello all. So I let my little brother download a game on my phone sometime in the end of August. It was one that he saw on an add and I didn't think anything of it. I uninstalled it a few days later but now my phone will randomly open up Google chrome and automatically launch a bit.ly site, usually a scam website or a smutty website. I think the app might have had something I don't really know too well. I downloaded a few antiviruses to scan my phone and they all said clear. I'm waiting to see if it does it again today. I was thinking maybe you guys could help? Please let me know your thoughts.
