------------------------------------------

Step 1: Clear the cache. Navigate to settings and select apps and notifications. Next, find Chrome. Go to its storage and select clear cache.

1. Step 2: Reboot the device in safe mode. Press and hold the power button. When the dialogue box appears, choose reboot to safe mode. The term “safe mode” should appear in the corner of your screen after rebooting.
   

1. Step 3: Find the suspicious app. Open settings. Select apps. Tap “See all apps” and enter “Installed apps” in the dropdown menu. Manually review applications installed to find any suspicious downloads. Once identified, open the app information and uninstall or force close it. After this step, you can restart your phone like normal.
   

 

Step 4: Enable Play Protect. The most secure way to protect an Android against a virus is by installing antivirus, but Play Protect can be used as a secondary protection measure. To enable this built-in software, choose the Google Play Store app and open the menu under your avatar. Choose to activate Play Protect so it can scan your device for security threats.

As a last resort, you can wipe your device and reset it to its factory settings If this is your only choice make sure all of your important documents pictures and information are backed up to a secondary device or the cloud.

If you do not want to erase all the data, and I do not recommend doing so, if you have already found the programs running it and removed them, you must turn the phone off and on again so that it works normally again.
