Simba

When switching on I get an annoying pop up advertising Simba. I have discovered how to remove using my Sony controller but this only temporary-it reappears each time I switch on.

Please advise how this may be permanently removed as I have no interest.

Many thanks.

I think it is Samba, no? Here is my how-to on how to opt out.
