Android virus query

Android mobile phone

Google redirects me everytime
I click on web search to a completely unrelated website.
Help wanted please,
Is it a virus, how do I get rid of it?
I have looked for mysterious apps but I only download from Google play store

a completely unrelated website

Is it a competitor of the site you a looking for ?
If you search for "unicorns", you will find hits for shops that say "we don't sell unicorns".

Go to applications, find the browser you are using (internet if its the stock one) and clear data and clear cache

For instance only,
If I was on BBC news website and highlighted the word 'sunshine' then click 'web search'
it takes me to this same house sale page every time, no matter where I search from, so I can't web search or get rid of this sale site

You dont need to know any. Goto the playstore and put virus in.
