Hi,
I got this phone recently, and noticed that my chrome browser kept opening up a pop up every time I opened it, often managing to install battery pro app or something similar.
I tried almost all anti malware apps to no avail, and after searching vigorously, I found the source.
It seems the phone came pre installed stock with a rogue YouTube app, which appears as an old version, and which you can't update from the playstore.
Check out the thread below, thats how I good to the bottom of it. You need to root your phone to remove it. I was actually being taken to the same website as the author of the blog, and for him it was YouTube as well, so seems this is common practice among foreign cheap phones.
