As of this morning, i've had two instances of being redirected to porn sites while trying to load "innocent" webpages in Chrome on my HTC One. The first time i was loading a link from within the Android Central app to a CNET article on the Galaxy Gear. The link seemed legit, and the mobile CNET site was loading before all of a sudden it redirected to an advert for something called "Badoink" (or similar) that purported to be an Android porn app. Pushing the back button on the phone to attempt to get back to the CNET site just loaded a different porn site. Needless to say i closed the page and gave up trying to access that article, thinking it may have been a dodgy link.
However, i just google searched the Logitech Squeezebox, and tapped on a link to an article about it being discontinued etc, and again was presented with more porn.
Concerned i have some badness on my phone now, but not sure how to go about finding it. I tried downloading and running AVG, but it only came up with a possibly malicious text message..? Clicking within the AVG app to open the message to see what it is leaves me with an eternal loading screen. Would be surprised if i had a text that was causing the problem.
My phone is not rooted, and i have only official app store apps. I haven't downloaded anything that i would consider supsect, just things like pdf articles, background images, email attachments (from trusted sources only, i.e. bank manager!). I guess there's always the potential that one of those has been the source of the issue, but i don't know how to find the problem at this stage.
Can anyone offer advice?
