Basically, I was trying to install a pandora one apk mod and I downloaded an app called "phonebooster". Since then, 10 seconds after I open the google play store, an app pops up! Also, when I'm watching a youtube video, or just on youtube, an ad video pops up! Last thing is that when I'm on a website, sometimes it will redirect me to a popup add bit it's the same one everytime! I think that this all has to do the "phone booster apk" app. Its an administrative app but when I go to Settings -> Security -> Device Administrators and try to uncheck something, it brings my back to the security page and does nothing. I really really need some help!

You just need to follow this path i.e.;
move to Settings->Security->Device Administrator &
de-select the app you want to unistall.
Then, open the Applications and force stop that app and then uninstall it. It works for me, hope it will works for you.
