So, I am suddenly getting these AdChoice ads popping up on my Galaxy Note 8 (VZW).

They pop up all the time, out of nowhere, no matter what I'm doing on my device.

I haven't really installed anything new lately.

I've updated the firmware with the latest security update (OTA). And, I do recall my phone freezing up while taking a video (stock camera) around the time this may have begun to occur.

How can I get these annoying ads to stop?!?!?!

skip the guesswork and do a master reset FDR AND SETUP AS NEW DEVICE with no backups restored until the ads disappear , because if you restore all it will repeat ads

The security update didnt cause it, and you cant uninstall that.

Must be from an app you have installed.
This.

OP, skip the factory reset suggestion and narrow down the problem to one of your apps. Think games, etc. Factory reset is last resort, and truly overkill for a single app. Besides, if you dont narrow it down now you will likely end up in the same position anyways down the line ;). Better to resolve it now. Cheers.
