you've been infected by an adware
download other browsers like Operamini, Chrome or Mozila and see if it persists (to know if its phone wide or just those two browsers that are affected)
also, uninstall all suspicious applications.
if that doesnt help then do a factory reset in recovery mode.

Ok. but i think your phone wasnt attached much. i had to install a new rom to my phone and it is now working perfectly. though i paid 2,500N in Jalingo to get it flashed. hovatek has given me a link to needrom.com but am still having difficulties downloading the rom. i am using same phone (Gretel-G005)

Perhaps you can request that the Rom be uploaded for you or they help you get another link
