Problem:Pop-up ads
A
Hardware
B
Software
C
Both
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The pop-up window containing an advertisement is usually generated by JavaScript that uses cross-site scripting (XSS), sometimes with a secondary payload that uses Adobe Flash. They can also be generated by other vulnerabilities/security holes in browser security.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pop-up ads have nothing to do with the phone itself. They are caused by third-party apps installed on your phone. Ads are a way for app developers to make money, and the more ads that are displayed, the more money the developer makes. This is why some of them are so persistent.

Detailed explanation-3: -If you’re seeing the pop-up ads on every website you visit, or if your browser’s homepage has been changed unexpectedly, it’s possible your browser has been infected by a type of malware known as adware. Adware injects ads into web pages in such a way that they can’t be blocked.
