Recently (since mid-october 2015), I've been getting random full screen pop-up ads, including video ads, for products like Snickers candy bars, Cincinatti Insurance and Amazon Kindle. Once, while at the office, an ad for a game came on with video and audio that overrode my silent phone setting. Haven't been able to pin down what triggers them; sometimes they come on with awakening the phone and sometimes with the selection of an app (the app varies). I've tried to roll back and uninstall recent app downloads, but this does not eliminate the problem. I don't usually install free apps and would be a bit surprised (but not shocked) if one of the paid apps I installed prompted this annoyance. When you pull up the "recent apps," no app appears which would be related to the ads.
Before I do a restore to factory settings, I was wondering if anyone else had the same problem and if they were able to find the culprit.
