I am getting two ads a day in my Notification Bar. It's odd because I don't download anything from the market that looks suspicious. I also read the comments for everything I download. Does anyone know of a way I can figure out what app is pushing these ads or if there is a app that will scan my phone for malware?

It's probably just some ad sponsored app. Just get AdAway and all your problems are solved.
Use this to find the offending app.....

My wife and I both have SGS3's and she is constantly getting these apps/widgets that pop up on her home screens yet are not in her app drawer and these are not apps that she downloaded. Anyone else experience anything similar and is there a way to block these apps?? Thanks

Get airpush from playstore it will tell you what app is causing it

If you find the offending app, you can opt out of their push notifications via a website depending what company is pushing the spam on you. I honestly forget which company it was ... you'll have to go to the playstore and find the offending app and check out the description. I know one of them had instructions on how to opt out.
Wont work for all of them, but you might get lucky.
There is also an airpush opt out app in the playstore as well.

I received a notification in the status bar to upgrade to the newest market. I clicked on it and was taken to a site I had never heard of before - wrappio.com. After looking at the site and reading some stuff online it looks like borderline spyware / spam to me. Needless to say I am not too happy about it. I have not installed any suspect .apk files and only downloaded apps from the market. I am running Juggs 4.1 along with the ICS theme / Darkside theme.
Can anyone tell me where this might have come from?
Thanks, in advance.
I see that type of issue alot with my customers that stop into the store. Download lookout or avg. One of your apps is causing that issue it happened to me with mp3 download pro. All kinds of odd notifications were popping up.

The app didn't find anything for me. I am having the same issue. The wrappio thing wanted my phone number and I stupidly provided it.

Same thing with me but I was able to use Addon Detectors app from the market and that was able to detect the app, it was bloat freezer for me that had the air push ads... Uninstalled it, problem solved.

Popup blocker in settings should stop this...?
Recently I've been getting an annoying notification once a day from "Top App Manager" recommending apps for me to download and install. (Which appear to suck.)
I suspect --but am not sure-- that this may be linked to the "MP3 Music Download" app. Has anyone experienced this?
And most importantly, does anybody know how to make it stop?
Many thanks.

Search for "AirPush Blocker" on the market .... You may just need to remove the app that installed it ...

Top App Manager piggy backs with game
My Iconia recently starting showing a red 'A' status icon. Clicking it would pop up a messages about Featured App. This was surprising because I never installed a 'top app manager'. I started uninstalling games one by one until the top app manager icon went away. Upon uninstalling 'Piggy Adventure', the icon disappeared. Go figure. I hope this info helps others.
I keep getting a green plus sign in status bar with an advertisement. I've tried deleting every app I could think of. Tried wiping and. Reinstalling everything the rom and apps that.I thought were clean. Anyone see this? Fixes?

Odds are it is one of the apps you are using. I for get then name of the AD SDK that puts them in your notifications but it is annoying.

What ROM is this (doesn't make a difference unless it's a pre-installed app's ads)? I had this happen with a lyric app I installed, just used rom toolbox to block ads
Look in google play for Airpush Detector. It will single out any apps that are pushing spam to the notification bar.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Using Macnut r1. Just started getting them, though. I'll try that app. Thanks.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I am confused as to why this is even allowed to run and you have to "opt out" of it? - I know google is an advertising company but they have never been suck dicks about adds in the past so why allow this to run on your platform
this is total crap, anyone who uses airpush should just go off and die in a field somewhere
here is an idea, how about I have a store and I give out free samples but after you have eaten it you find out from other people that there is poison in the sample and that you should have "opted out" of the poison - I dont have to say that there is poison in there before you eat it and if you ask me I dont even have to answer but now you have to get the antidote from someone else if you even know about the poison until you feel sick - you cant remember what is causing you to be sick seeing as you ate a few things (installed a few apps) and one of them is causing problems for you - now you have to figure out using something from someone else (airpush detector) and cure your problem

Hello All,
I started to get advertisements under my "notification" bar. Sometimes I would get a notification, and it is like advertising for something, and when I click on it, it attempt to access the webpage ( which I declined to continue). Is the fact that i'm getting these advertisements mean that my phone is infected with spywares? if so how do i get rid of them?
thanks

Most likely you installed a app that has advertisements some have google apps and some have ones that pop up in your notification area other then it being annoying its not necessarily spyware, find the app and uninstall it and your problem will be solved
Our you can install Rom toolbox pro from the market and block every type of ad everywhere

Get airpush detector like the other post said. Thing about these apps that use those kinds of ads also like to thro shortcuts on your homescreen and browser. Everyone hates these apps so rather than block em, i prefer to uninstall them and not use that devs stuff again till they get the point!

I think theres an sms blocker app thats supposed to be good at stopping those. Never had a need for it but have seen it mentioned a few times.
In the upcoming jb, this feature is built in.

Hi there, give these Apps a go:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appspot.swisscodemonkeys.detector
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.denper.addonsdetector
Don't worry too much, it's just Airpush Advertisements, which are more annoying then harmful.
The above Applications are my recommendations, and work very well.
Cheers.
