Galaxy J7 V2 has unwanted ads when I unlock phone

Every time I unlock the phone, there are ads on the home screen.

Have to clear them before I can use the phone.

Verizon store can't figure it out.

Is this normal for that phone?

Extremely obnoxious.

An installed app might be causing the problem.

A factory default of the phone with a careful review of which apps to re-install could resolve the issue. Installing Antivirus apps from Norton, Avast...etc can help.

If a factory default and selective app restore is done, post the results. Smiley Happy

JET460, we want to ensure this issue gets resolved. Most likely this problem cam from an app or a website not normally visited. Have you already completed a factory data reset? Does the issue still exist?
