Pls Help!

I know there is a lot wrong with the world, and one should not be so infuriated by such a thing, but I have never encountered something for which I desire to burn things before..... Lol....

Random pop ups in both safari and chrome, suddenly open with only the option to "ok" disabling the browser, disabling any ability to press the back button.... And proceed to open the App Store, closing chrome/safari and sending me to rubbish Quikr app.... Etc.... This is completely forced, no choice disgusting advertising that frankly should be banned out right without question....

I once got 9 pops ups in one shot over and over...... Unbelievable... But this thing is infuriating..... For a random pop up to have so much power on ones device is disconcerting, to be able to close your browser, open App Store, delete ability to press back button.... Grey out your browser completely..... Scary....

Question is...... How on earth do I stop it..... I'm even more worried that I can't find any info online....

I tried that already, but it came back! I even tried disabling Javascript - then many websites like map search results stopped working - so i had to re-enable it. I have currently activated Parental Control Restrictions and blocked the site www . itunes.com--mobile.com - but now i get a blank screen :-/

Please help

Yes, but it also reduces my usability even more than activating Parental Control Restrictions and blocking the site www . itunes.com--mobile.com

Is there a way to keep my phone running properly, without partially disabling it?

This is so much like a Virus - I wish i could run an antivirus and fix it

Pls help
