Android Hijack Help


Recommended Posts

I was just browsing on the built-in Chrome app and got hijacked. Never happened before. Can't figure out how to fix it.

Every time I open Chrome it redirects to: us.romanticized183mf.top with a popup saying:

"You should update your Android Cleaner now or your phone might be slowed down and your battery discharges quickly."

I cancel that and the page has another popup for Cleaner Update for Google with two buttons: Instalar and Cancelar

I've never hit install. I've closed Chrome. Force Stopped the app. Restarted the phone. Used MalwareBytes and Zemana Antivirus - neither detects anything. I used CCleaner as well.

I turned off wifi and used LTE, the hijack was still there.

I installed Firefox and the hijack doesn't affect it. But I have some bookmarks and stuff on Chrome I'd like to be able to access at some point.

Any ideas?
