Annoying message appearing once a week

Hi when I use my mobile phone, about once a week I get an annoyingly message whilst I am in Google chrome
The message states it's from XYIUMZUADP.PW it goes on to say my phone has four viruses and all the photos and memory on my phone and memory card will become corrupted. To solve this problem now have to click on the ok icon and download from Google play store an app then click on the instructions to get rid of those viruses

Where does this come from I have scanned my phone with malware bytes and comes back clean I have deleted all history scanned with ccleaner

This annoying message knows what make and type of phone I have I cannot find anything on Google browser about it any help ? Thanks

If you goto http://xyiumzuadp.pw/ it list these apps have you installed any ?
If not its probably some other app you have installed that has ad based software throwing up that message.

Never install an app that a popup tells you to! Jeez.

I'd recommend a backup, wipe and reinstall of your phone

Quite possibly,maybe try downloading the 360 app and scanning see if it finds the ad.
Malwarebytes is another to try, faiing that i would just reset the phone and be done with it.
