I tried Macafe and Nox security for this issue, but no use.. after read your blog, finally I uninstalled sci-fi calculator & some more apps. But I think calculator is the culprit.. now I observed 1 full day . As of now no issue. ( not tried Kaspersky or any other scanner ) txs for support

In reply to TehnoBlog. I never did get the Firefox default to work. However, after some sleuthing I did find similar stories to mine that stated the pre-installed "Peel Remote" app was the problem. I was getting these xyz pages easily 10 times per day. Since late Wednesday when I removed Peel Remote it hasn't happened again. Oddly enough, that app cannot be found in the Google Play Store to report it as malicious. Thanks for this post and your assistance. Glad to have this ended.

In reply to Joshua. Is there a "clear defaults" option, as well? You can try that instead. Otherwise, only if you root the phone you'll be able to remove it. Or you can uninstall apps one by one, until you find the culprit. Last resort is factory reset, but I think you can avoid that, as mentioned in one of the comments above.

In reply to TehnoBlog. I did try that. Unfortunately while I can set another browser as Default, this built-in app won't allow you to click the Disable button.
