Title: Spam Problem with S3 Mini
Post by: MrBounce on 12 October 2013, 11:45

Got a Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini which I've had 3 months & love to bits. Problem is that when scrolling through something on the net I must have clicked something because now everytime I go on the internet there's some stupid "meet local singles" chat page and it's REALLY annoying. Short of doing a full factory reset on the phone I've got no idea how to get rid of it.

Vodafone were about as helpful as asking the greengrocers. Any suggestions?

PS Speak as though you're explaining to an oldie. I am not very technical!!  :laugh:
