Hi there! I understand you're using Total Adblock on your new Samsung S23 but you're still seeing ads, which shouldn't happen with the app activated. Let's work through this together to get it fixed.

First, could you tell me a bit more about what kind of ads you are still seeing? Are they pop-up ads, banner ads inside apps, or video ads in browsers? Also, have you noticed if Total Adblock prompts any messages or if it seems active at all?

Meanwhile, here are some initial steps that often resolve this issue on Samsung S23 devices:

1. Clear the Total Adblock app cache:
- Go to Settings > Apps > Total Adblock.
- Tap on Storage > Clear Cache.

2. Check if Total Adblock is updated to the latest version:
- Open Google Play Store, search for Total Adblock, and tap Update if available.

3. Look for any conflicting VPNs or security apps that might interfere:
- Some VPN or security apps block the functioning of adblockers. If you have any, try temporarily disabling them.

4. Reinstall Total Adblock:
- Uninstall the app, then download and install it fresh from the Google Play Store.

5. Make sure your phone's OS is updated:
- Go to Settings > Software Update and install any pending updates.

On Samsung S23, Total Adblock uses specific network filtering that can be affected by other apps, so these steps usually help restore ad-blocking function.

Try these out and let me know what happens or if you need guidance on any step! Are you satisfied with this approach so far?

Thanks for sharing more about what’s happening. Just to clarify, you’re seeing Total Adblock itself repeatedly pushing you to install different programs very quickly? That sounds unusual because Total Adblock is designed to block ads, not bombard users with install prompts.

A few things could be going on here:

1. It’s possible you might have installed a fake or compromised version of Total Adblock. Some look-alike apps can aggressively push ads or installs.
2. Another app or malicious adware on your phone could be causing those rapid install prompts.
3. There could be an issue with how Total Adblock was installed or configured on your Samsung S23.

Here’s what I recommend doing next, step-by-step:

1. Check the app source:
Ensure you downloaded Total Adblock only from the official Google Play Store. If not, uninstall it immediately because unofficial sources can deliver malware.

2. Uninstall Total Adblock:
Remove the current Total Adblock app from your phone fully.

3. Scan your device:
Use a reputable mobile security app to scan for malware or adware that could be causing those prompts.

4. Clear your browser cache:
Sometimes cached data can cause persistent ads:
- Open your browser (like Chrome) > Settings > Privacy > Clear Browsing Data.

5. Reinstall Total Adblock:
Download the genuine Total Adblock app fresh from the Google Play Store only. Avoid clicking on in-app ads or messages asking for other program installs.

6. Restart your phone:
After reinstalling, restart the Samsung S23 to clear any lingering processes.

7. Avoid suspicious ads and links:
When browsing, do not click on popups or install prompts originating outside trusted apps.

If, after doing all this, you still experience the rapid install requests, it may mean your phone has deeper malware that Total Adblock alone cannot fix. In that case, consider:
- Factory resetting the device (after backing up important data).
- Contacting Samsung support for device-level checks.

Would you like me to guide you through the uninstall and reinstall process, or help you find a good mobile security app for scanning? Let me know how you want to proceed!

Are you satisfied with these next steps?
