Trouble Removing Phishing Malware

Hey, I'm having a Phishing problem on my phone, specifically in the Google Chrome app.

On any web page with ads, it just changes page without my permission to a weird page saying something along the lines of "congratulations! you have one [blah]", and will be accompanied by a voice saying "congratulations" in either an American accent or British one, always female. This happens every time a page has ads on Chrome, so long as I'm connected to the internet.

I've tried scanning with AVG, Malwarebytes and Zemana, and none of them can find the problem, even though AVG apparently "protects you from phishing attacks". I've tried reinstalling Chrome, (or rather, reverting it to "factory settings", because there isn't a complete uninstall option), then restarting the phone, I've downloaded an Android update hoping that would fix it. Some sites suggest removing the "malicious app", but I haven't installed anything since long before the attacks started, and I can't find anything malicious-looking in the app list in settings.

I have no idea what I'm doing here; this is the first time I've gotten these problems. If anyone can lend a hand in trying to fix this problem, I would really appreciate the help.

Thanks,
R-Critter.
 
Have you tried clearing cache for Chrome? Also does it happen on every website or just a select few? If it's just a few my guess would be those sites would send any browser on a spam merrygoround.

Out of curiosity do you have block ads and safe search selected in Chrome settings. Even without add block, safe search brings up a notice that a page failed to load and asks if I want to open it. If curiosity ever gets the best of me and I do it's usually one of those.

I hadn't thought of clearing cache. I've done that now, so we'll see how that goes.

I've so far only tires two sites, one being Fanfiction.net, and the other just being any old news site, where I was trying to find a solution to this same problem.

Now that I think about it, I've only tested two browsers: Chrome, and the adblock browser, which wouldn't experience the problem anyway. I guess I haven't been really thorough with my testing have I? Like I said, I'm new at this.

Looked in my Chrome settings, and it's listed "Ads blocked on sites that show intrusive ads". It's one of those switch settings, so it's either that or "allow ads". Popups are listed as "blocked" (but Chrome's built-in popup blockers are usually rubbish anyways, in my experience on PC Chrome), and I can't find "safe search". Where would you find it?

No worries I was new with an Android once too. Still can't guarantee this will work though. If you open Chrome and go to settings and then privacy there should be an option to tick safe search :) Edit: oops sorry, safe browsing ;)

Safe browsing is already ticked.
I guess at this point all we can do is wait and hope the problem was solved by emptying the cache. If I need more help, I'll let you know.
Thanks! =)
