Popup Adverts
For the last three days I have been inundated and I mean inundated with popups on my Xaiomi phone. The vast majority are telling me I have a virus or I need to clear cache. It is then immediately followed with a popup from Play store with apps to download that will solve these problems. Which of course I haven't downloaded. The other popups appear for plumbing or medical items.
I have run Malwarebytes and Bitdefender and both tell me I am clear and have no problems. I even get popups while these are running.
Any advice would be very much appreciated. I am normally so very careful what I click on but must have clicked on something I shouldn't have.
Thank you

It's very annoying but looking like something I will have to get used to. I was thinking about a factory reset but I've alot of things I wouldn't want to loose.
