[Q] Android Trojan(s)?
Ok, I've never seen this or had this issue before. So I am not sure what is causing it.
I installed my usual apps after flashing Mr. X's stock+root-CIQ Tmo T989 rom. First app I usually download and run before anything is Adfree. Then Astro file manager to restore APKs. But I realized that this method left me with some older versions of the apps and they wouldn't have their market links. Yes, I could run Titanium Backup to fix them.. Anyways, suddenly I get a star icon on my notification bar. I look at it and it sends me to a website claiming I won a tablet and to chose. This is one of the links, don't visit it, I just posted it for reference; Code:
http://com-user.mobi/galaxy/usa/go.php?t202kw=usipad31&uid=REMOVED] It happens again this time with a plus icon.. The star icon has happened twice on different occasions, only in the last week, and after installing a recent update to Adfree. These are the apps I have installed; Adfree Astro 3G Watchdog AT&T Smart Wi-Fi Barcode Scanner Beautiful Widgets Bloat Freezer Free GasBuddy Google Voice Quick Boot QuickPic RealCalc Root Explorer ScanLive ShopSavvy Speed Test Tapatalk Ubuntu Regular TTF Zillow Has this happen to anyone? Any idea what's causing this or how to catch / prevent it? I've had one app actually hijack my my stock browser and change the search engine to some smartsearch type site, like it does to normal windows browsers.. lol Thanks, -CC |

Ad for a singles website. I removed the app and the star went away with the ads. Remove apps one by one until it goes away. Also you can check app permissions one by one and narrow it down. That's what I did. App was on the market too. |

Get Air Push Detector from Google Play. One of your apps is pushing spam to your notification bar. Then remove said app after reviewing the app in Google Play and warn others. Ususally these apps dissappear after thay have been called out.

Remove the app beautiful widgets as that may be the cause of this issue. Might be other apps too but this is where to start.

I use beautiful widgets on my MIUI and it has no ad.

That does sound annoying. I haven't experienced anything like this. Then again, I just got my phone. I hope it doesn't happen to me. I'll download those detector apps, too.

As per the your problem concern i would like to say that you have to installed AVG antivirus that keep your smartphone virus free. I have also installed AVG antivirus on my smartphone which provide the great protection against the viruses.No need to download other app on your Android smartphone.
