    Which tablet? Tesco's HUDL or Amazon Fire which are cheap because of the advert system built in?

    I have cleared the cache without it making any difference. It is a standard hudl2 so of course it has tesco ads. But these latest ones are for all sorts of things and only started very recently . They appear full screen as soon as I turn it on. They also reflect things i have been viewing on line so something is checking my preferences and selecting relevant ads. It us not just one ad it can be several successively.

    i will try out the various suggestions and report back but just to repeat, I have set android settings to not display ads, cleared the cache, am running adblock browser, have removed all unknown apps. I do have Netflix and Amazon Prime. Could one of those be the culprit?
