Hi! I understand you're experiencing constant pop-up interruptions related to the Total Adblock app on your Android device. I'm here to help you resolve this. To start, could you tell me a bit more about these pop-ups? For example:
- Are they happening when you open certain websites or apps?
- Do the pop-ups come from the Total Adblock app itself or while browsing?
- Have you noticed if this started after a recent update or installation?

Once I have more details, I can guide you step-by-step to stop those interruptions. Meanwhile, here’s a general approach that works well on Android devices running your version:

1. Check Total Adblock Settings:
- Open the Total Adblock app on your device.
- Navigate to its settings or options menu. Look for any toggles like “Pause Protection,” “Disable Pop-ups,” or similar. Sometimes, temporarily disabling protection and enabling it again helps.

2. Clear Browser Cache and Cookies:
- Since Total Adblock works with your browser, clearing cache and cookies might remove corrupted data causing pop-ups.
- On your Android WebKit browser, go to Settings > Privacy > Clear browsing data, select cache and cookies, then clear them.

3. Scan for Adware or PUPs:
- Sometimes, pop-ups come from unwanted adware or potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) installed alongside apps. Run a reputable anti-malware app to scan your phone. This can help catch and remove hidden ad modules causing pop-ups.

4. Review App Permissions:
- Go to Settings > Apps > Total Adblock and verify it has only necessary permissions. Over-granted permissions can sometimes lead to unwanted behavior.

5. Update or Reinstall Total Adblock:
- Make sure you have the latest app version. If not, update it. If it persists, uninstall the app completely and reinstall it fresh from the official source.

6. Check Push Notifications:
- Sometimes ad-heavy apps trigger push notifications that look like pop-ups. Disable push notifications from Total Adblock under Settings > Apps > Total Adblock > Notifications.

If you have already tried any of these, please let me know, and we can explore deeper fixes. Does this sound like a plan? What else can you share about the pop-ups you see?
