Boot on safe mode and see if you experience the same problem.

@Ferio1

Some sites will have pop ups, open chrome > menu > settings > disable pop ups, also did you experienced the same issue while on safe mode?

Same Issue... I had the issue on two browsers. Chrome and Dolphin. I uninstalled Dolphin thinking the malware had attacked only Dolphin. The pop-up started on Chrome also. I have followed all the steps listed in this thread. Is there anything else I can do other than a factory restore ?

What happens if you close all tabs in Chrome and then open a new tab and go to www.google.com or www.sonymobile.com? Do you see this ad then?

To me it sounds like you're visiting pages that are targeting mobile phones with ads and/or that you have a tab open that needs to be closed.

closed all tabs and tried but i notcied that the ad which comes to me always same and its url start with''ad-type.google.com'' so this ad might be from google or what?
