Hidden tabs showing up after unlocking phone

[poppawheelie]

Every time I unlock my phone, hidden tabs show up. Usually it looks like ads or some kind of spam. Usually 6+. How do I stop these?

Where do they show, on your lock screen? On your home screen? In your browser?  What do you mean by tabs? Can you provide a screen shot?

Might be the Samsung Global Goals app?

I'm not sure if the whole screenshot is showing. It pops up when I unlock my phone. Today, I wasn't on my phone, but 11 tabs showed up.

That is malware/adware. Those usually come from some downloaded app. Games are the most frequent culprits.  Download Good Lock from the Samsung store, and then download the nice catch module.  Go into the settings for nice catch and turn on detect commercials.  Next time the ads show up, you can open the nice catch app and see which app is sending them and uninstall the app.

Poppawhee and l it doesn't do as much but still some but didn't eliminate completely unfortunatelno something else wrong I read some where that said it might have malware on it wanted to make sure I don't remove something I wanna keep

That's malware.  You, at some point, went to either an infected website or downloaded an app.  You need to activate Samsung's app protection and run a scan. Settings/security and privacy/app security.  Turn on protection and keep it on.
