I'm rooted. I run AdFree. Everything is up to date.
My gf installed an app then delete it. Not sure which app. Now every time I restart the phone I get the "Android is updating...." message before it boots. But the part that really gets me......
I'm now getting ad banners even in paid apps. I see ads even in paid versions of ROM Manager. (Yes the ads are turned off in the settings.)
This is really frustrating me. Does anyone have any suggestions other than a factory reset?? The ads all say they are AdMob ads by Google.

Addons detector then look for push ads. Top button after scan. Had a similar issue. Hope that helps

Try adaway it downs multiple host lists and merges them together. Works well for me basically all in game and browser ads are block.

Thanks guys. Neither one of those detected anything. Yet - the problems persists.

Can you reflash the ROM, and restore?

Not at the moment. Won't be home for a few more days.
It's very frustrating. They aren't normal ads.

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.

Ever since I got my phone, I started getting spam such as "you've won a $500 card to Best Buy, just answer a few questions" daily. These appears in my drop down list and not SMS/messaging.
What can I do?
Its called air push. There is a permanent opt out apparently in the market, but it has mixed results. For me it doesn't work for my brown it does
Not my brown, my bro damn auto correct
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
Kkg is correct. Not sire if it comes included in the phone but from my experiences it happens after you install certain apps that include it.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
actually there is a newer SPAM bot system than air push, just last week i installed a new game and it came loaded with it, good thing is, all i had to do was uninstall that game to remove it
annoying as hell, sorry forgot the name of that game, it was some shoot them up game, just don't remember the tittle
just today i found yet another one, this one was caught by the antivirus software when i tried to install a fake temple run
Run the airpush detector and download an antivirus app. Its probably one of your apps. What did you download as soon as you got the phone? Was there something free or did you get one online with your cpu and install with the cord? You can fix this easily. If it really is something that came with your phone rooting and flashing should get the job done. I have gotten 2 weird messages but they originated from tmobile. Some attempt at raising revenues.

there is a app that will tell you what app is causing it airpush detector i think is what its called
I have gotten that spam crap when i open my browser
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I would definitely check through your apps and delete the ones that look "shady" to you. I can usually tell if a app looks shady or not just by the app itself, but it is sometimes hard to distinguish. Also, running a anti-virus app mentioned by the posts above me will help in flushing out suspicious looking apps.
Its an app. It happened to me with free mp3 downloads app lol

Some GOSMS themes now come with this. Sad ****ers have got to go.
If you install Lookout's Push Ad Detector and run it you'll know which apps you have installed have these ads. It'll also direct you to the way to opt-out if you can or you can uninstall the app.
Link to app --> https://market.android.com/details?id=com.lookout.addetector
the opt out never works, is best to just uninstall the App/Game and give them bad reviews
The application stated above works great! I had been getting the green plus signs in my status bar that say I won something or free best buy gift cards etc... I found out that it was caused by Go sms themes, like the black& white theme and purple theme specifically. I hated getting these adds. It made me feel like my phone was unsafe. Do virus apps really do much, or do they just take up room? Thanks for the application and any more info! David

there is a fake ICS them for Go Launcher EX that also comes pre-loaded with SPAM bot
Thanks, it found MySettings. We will see in a day or so what happens.
just long press home key right after you the get AD. The offending app will be there. Uninstall

Besides the usual numerous (and annoying) ads on XDA, the admins are now going with an ad format that completely butchers the layout of Post #1 of all threads.
Bravo.
If you must run ads, any chance of going back to the old-style format where the layout of Post #1 remains untouched?
Highly annoying.
Thanks,

use adfree on google chrome
I use Tapatalk. No ads here.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk 2
Adblock plus on Chrome or Firefox. I never realize how many ads it blocks until I install one of the browsers on a new computer. Then I'm like, wait... That was never there before And as a plus, Adblock blocks the ads in youtube too (Both the initial one and the on-screen ones). In fact, I didn't even know the initial ads existed until I saw them on a friend's computer. That's how useful it can get.
Sorry for rambling so much
Thanks, to all.
I'll try some combination of the aforementioned solutions.
No problem man . Just keeping making awesome ROMs

Done. But no use. 2 more screenshots..
I have had the same annoying pop-up ads that looked like this "your Android memory is too low,please clean it up" or something like that,when I pressed "OK" button I just was redirected to "Du Booster" app. So Ad-blocking app is your friend,and for me the best is Adaway.:good:
I had these starting yesterday. I just had to restore my phone to a backup in the end. I got rid of lots of apps and the aware ones didn't find anything

adblock plus is what i use and it works perfectly.
Adblock Adaway or the xposed mod minminguard. As long as you are rooted they should all stop the adds and pop ups

If you are not rooted the only option is to uninstall the app which is giving you the pop up. I don't know of any pop up blocker that doesn't require root

Yes... I am trying to do the same .. but unable to find the app that is causing it .. most of my apps installed are from reviews from top Android forums and few games only.
I have uninstalled almost 10 apps in suspicion .. but still can't trace the culprit.
Hurray... Finally got hold of the culprit.
It was named com.scloud.... (Didn't remember the full name)
Initially thought it was system app but when going thru all suspicious names found that there is an option to uninstall which is not available for sys apps.
After I installing it alk these ads are gone.
